Here's what shows for the card:

"Adaptec AIC-6X60 ISA Single_chip SCSI Controller"

I just re-counted, it's definitely 15-pin...

>The odds are (and if you'll give me the model number of the Adaptec card, I'll confirm this - I'm one of the sysops on CompuServe's Adaptec forum, among other things) that it's a 25 pin connector (DB25, right?) If so, you can order the correct cable from Granite Digital (www.scsipro.com - they are not cheap, but they are far and away the best in the business as far as SCSI goes) Dirt Cheap Drives (www.dirtcheapdrives.com) or Corporate Systems Center (www.corpsys.com) - buy as short a cable as possible, since there's a maximum length of the total cabling on the SCSI bus, and check if the HP has active termination; if it doesn't, buy an Active terminator.

>I'd go with Granite for a vendor - superb tech support, a very knowledgable sales staff, they stock most normal SCSI cables (this is a normal cable, BTW) and can build custom cables within a day if necessary. They've yet to let me down, and I've bought quite a bit from them.
>
>I'd tend to buy the right cable rather than an adapter for the cable that comes with the scanner, butr all three sell cable adapters as well.
