Another possibility is to use an internal <-> external Adapter on the SE cable, but you have to be carefull about the max cable length. BTW, some scanners do not support scsi-disconnect and will stop the scsi bus while scanning (Mustek ie.) so a dedicated controller for the scanner might be a good idea anyway . Ramin
