Unable to get this programme to start, maybe due to what you say next.

The cable supplied was a 26 pin internal connector to the board ending in a
standard 25 pin scsi D connector. I've used a male 25 to male 50pin
centronics connector to connect up with the scsi chain, this is as per
manual as far as I can see.

Tried Scout but it can't find 1230scsi.device. I think it is probably a
connection problem as the scanner made strange noises when connected to the
Blizzard scsi and couldn't reach the ready state. I've had to put
everything back on the squirrel for the time being.
