You need a good motherboard too, with CPU and cache in the immediate vincinity of the VLB slot. Physical layout matters a lot and a board with cache on one side of board and VLB on another with CPU in the middle is unlikely to give stable performance since the capacitance and inductance from all that length of traces will get in the way of signal integrity.

I have actually not had troubles at all running several VLB cards at 40MHz without wait states, but 50MHz has required some cherry picking.

It was a Genius (The mouse people, not the ones that own a big chunk of Florida, the ones that made computer mice) hand scanner with a parallel port connection. The parallel port connection is the big deal here.

Parallel port handscanners were more an amiga thing from what I remember.

Talking about hand scanners, I received those last month:

The Sagitta Gray's connector, most handscanners with an interface card usually had some round 8 or 9 pin plug.

The Zscan name comes from the fact you scan in a Z motion, it's not super practical. The + model also does parallel lines scanning.

And for something completely different:
