SCSI scanners through USB adapter

[BGates2B]

I have an old (Jurassic period) Mustek ParagonII scanner. I do plan on getting a new scanner (I like the Epson Perfection 1240U). I upgraded to a new mobo and it doesn't have any ISA slots for the ISA SCSI card that came with the scanner. My question is that I spotted a SCSI - USB converter that is cheaper than a new PCI SCSI card. Has anyone used one of these before? Do they work?

Thanks,
Mark

It would probably work but it would be slower. Never had any experience with scsi scanners tho.

Not sure about your particular scanner, I also have an ancient scanner that has its own scsi card, but I CANT get the dam thing working with any other scsi card (tried two), maybe you ought to confirm that yours isnt a dedicated card too (a lot of them used to be) before spending your hard earned $/£ on an adapter.
