I too have a UMAX Astra 600S and I use a Microtech adapter.
It works fine *BUT* I have a CD-RW drive further down the SCSI chain which
provides termination. I have not tried the scanner alone (w/o the CD-RW)
but I could give it a shot if you'd like and I'll let you know what
happens.
Also note that this setup does not work in Mac OS X.
