James, I think the 7850is the number of the core chip used on the board, not the name of the card itself. SCSI cards have come with Centronics 50 Pin, DB25 Pin, HD50 Pin and HD 68 Pin connectors. You can purchase adapters and adapter cables on Adaptec's web site or locally. There is probably no need to purchase another card unless it is a proprietary version made for a specific device. David

I received my new SS4000 scanner today which did not come with a SCSI card. I currently have a Adaptec AIC-7850 PCI SCSI Controler, but it has a different type of connector - a small 60 pin with spring clips on both sides. It is hooked to an old HP ScanJet 5p. Is there likely to be an adapter which I could put between the supplied cable and the old connector, or should I buy a new card? I'd like to keep the HP working for rare print scans.
