It's a custom duplex centronics interface, developed by HP, and used (in
slightly different versions) only on the 9190A ScanJet and 9195A ScanJet
Plus. The ScanJet version was product number 88290A, which presumably
works only on the 9190A. The Plus card was 88295A or 88296A, and
reportedly works on both. They were developed years before
ECP/EPP/IEEE-1284, so a normal PC parallel port is no substitute. The
later ScanJets (IIc, IIcx, 2p, 3p) have a McSCSI interface.
