Yes, you need a SCSI card for your computer, there are no converters that
will work.

You will find Manuals and Software downloads here. The Windows 2000 driver
should work in Windows XP

For a SCSI card, Ebay has many that work with scanners. Get one that fits
the cable.
Adaptec SCSI Card 2906 is a good card.

For device type choose scanner.

$9.30 + $5 shipping on ebay.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.d [...] 20258&rd=1

For $14.30 he gets a hopefully working film scanner.

The driver for the AVA-2906 card is here. (free) and should work in XP by
installing the card and rebooting.
