<CRAWLS OUT FROM UNDER DESK> Yes, I have one of these too I guess.
This is labelled C2502-66500 REV B 1994. The date sounds about right
as I remember ordering it. Mine has a bar code label with the
marking 4HE3PFG. From the documentation, ISTR that it is just a
barebones SCSI card that is designed to just about work with
an HP Scanjet. The SCSI Scanjet will also work with a proper SCSI
card so not having one is no great loss.
