Hardware

A second Sbus narrow SCSI card was inserted into the system. A narrow controller (as oppsed to wide, like the built in SCSI) was used to insure proper termination of the bus since the scanner is a narrow device. A cable that has mini-D50 (on the Sun end) and a DB25 (on the scanner end) was used to place the scanner on this bus, set to target 5.
