Old SCSI scanner with new computer. How to get it setup? (1 Viewer)

[NickSo]

Hi, i have a Hewlett Packard Scanjet5P i got awhile ago that uses a SCSI connection.
Well, the SCSI card it came with was an ISA card, but my new computer doesnt have any ISA slots.
Do these older scanners work with WinXP?
Can i just buy a SCSI card with a plug on the slot-plate? Or is my ISA SCSI card proprietary from HP?
Would something like this work? http://www.compgeeks.com/details.asp?invtid=DC-305E-B
Thanks

Should, by definition, SCSI devices work with any SCSI standard compliance controller, and for $6.95, don't think you can go wrong.

The card you reference has a 50 pin connector on the back. Is that what your scanner has? I know older HP SCSI stuff, like the II series, used a 25 pin connection.

Well the scsi cable that comes wth the scanner has 2 rows of 25 pins, so i guess its a 50-pin SCSI device

Should work then AFAIK.
