Bought this ISA card.
Was advertised as PS/2 ISA adaptor. Obviously the connector is not a mini-DIN PS/2.
My second guess was that this is a bus mouse interface InPort card. However, that one use still a different connector (non-round pins).
Any idea what I got?
Some scanner interface, probably Logitech Scanman 256.

Yes. Looks like that's it. Thanks
Oh I had one of those. (Actually a Scanman 2000). I got it because I wanted to scan books, which is difficult to do on a flatbed scanner because of the curvature of the pages. I was hoping a handheld scanner would be better, but it wasn't.
What do people use for scanning books?
Is this too much voodoo?
For a few pages I just used my phone 🤣 If it's not an old book, get the PDF version 😉
Requests are also possible... /msg kixs

I saw a professional setup used for archiving very old books and it was something like this:
The one I saw had a regular DSLR camera mounted on top. It also had glass panels to make the pages flat.
Using regular camera mounted on tripod and even lighting also gives good results.

I don't want to see the price though

I haven't scanned any books, but the Canon CanoScan 5600F can scan things that aren't flat. I'll be using one to scan graphics cards until I get the head extender for my camera tripod.
See my graphics card database at www.gpuzoo.com
Constantly being worked on. Feel free to message me with any corrections or details of cards you would like me to research and add.
Thanks for the tip. This looks interesting: http://www.microscopy-uk.org.uk/mag/artjan13/ … anner-type.html
