I have a SCSI-USB converter cable from Microtech. You have to be aware of the limitations of such a converter -- and Microtech was very up-front with the limitations of such a converter cable. It may or may not work with your scanner. I had gotten this cable when we got our first iMac several years ago. It worked with a Zip drive and with a Jazz drive, but it would not work with my previous SCSI scanner, which was pretty old -- it was a Microtek 300ZS. When I got a new tower, I spent the money to put in a SCSI card, and as I've been replacing peripherals, they've all been either USB, Firewire or Ethernet, so I won't have these conversion issues moving forward.

The reason that I ask is that I have a Umax 11 x 17 scanner that I would dearly love to use with my Pismo and imac se. I currently use a Umax 2200 scanner that works well but I do have occasional need of the legal size capabilities of the other scanner. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
