Two thoughts: 25 pins on the computer and 50 pins on the device was the standard SCSI configuration for years. 25-to-50 cables are probably more common than 50-to-50 cables. The extra 25 lines are just grounds (individually paired to each data line) and only really need to be connected at one end. If, however, the scanner is really 68 pins, not 50, it may well not work with this old SCSI card even with an adapter.
Totally different OS, totally different interface, but... on an OS 9 Mac my Sprintscan 120 installed it's own Firewire drivers that made Firewire access nearly impossible for everything else, and made my USB slightly odd as well. My suggestion would be to use Vuescan (which, unlike Polacolor, does NOT need the goofy Firewire driver) and excise every last bit of Polaroid software. "James L.
