How old is this "ms500"?

The Canon Microfilm Scanner 500 appears to be a free-standing display unit to which you attach peripherals (like a printer).

Please clarify what device you have and what service you expect the device to provide?

Can you post a link to the manual for your device?

It would be interesting to know where you found a 50-pin SCSI connector on a PC unless it happens to be a very old one with an Adaptec SCSI board or something similar? Are you sure that this port is not just a Centronics parallel printer port ?

Please post anything useful which might help identify this device.

Last but not least. What is the Project? Is purchasing other hardware an option? Are you trying to re-process old microfilm or what?

Hmm. Please post the output from this command at the Shell prompt (blotting anything confidential like machine names with X's):

Code:

uname -a
