Please reply offlist as this is not a true classic. Well maybe as the
scanjet is!
I'm trying to setup the HPscanjet on my ps/2 and of course the startup
is complaining about the new interface. I have the refdisk for the ps/2
but not the required setup disk for the scanject interface. Any
suggestions?
Until I crack this the system will not boot with the card in place
unless, is there is a bypass procedure?

Allison,
It sounds like you need the .adf file for that particular piece of
hardware. Once the adapter definition is installed on your system
(think of it as a bios extension). Things should boot okay then.
Try NCRs site:
http://www3.ncr.com/support/pc/pcdesc/library/adfs.shtml
They have .adf files for all kinds of stuff.
Another decent PS/2 site with all sorts of general info is:
