Dave,

  I think that's the original HP scanjet. If so it used a specail interface
card and I think it is a form of SCSI. There's used to be lots of used
Scanjets around but the cards were in short supply and very hard to find.
A lot people bought the used ScanJets cheap then spent hours and hours
looking for the required card. You'd probably be lot better off if you
dumped it and bought a new cheap scanner.
