Dave,
I think that's the original HP scanjet. If so it used a specail interface
card and I think it is a form of SCSI. There's used to be lots of used
Scanjets around but the cards were in short supply and very hard to find.
A lot people bought the used ScanJets cheap then spent hours and hours
looking for the required card. You'd probably be lot better off if you
dumped it and bought a new cheap scanner.

It looks to be almost the original Scanjet, as that's what it has on the
front, HP Scanjet, with no letters or numerals following. The 9190AU
designator is on the nameplate underneath. It has a Centronics connector
on the back and came with a std IBM printer cable, so I guess is a parallel
port version. But there is another oddball ( 20? pin) connector on the back
too. What's it for?
I don't have any software for it but I believe the original drivers were Win
3.1x only, so suggestions as to getting software to run it would be useful
as well.
