I doubt Polaroid says 1.5 FEET, meters more than likely.  I also doubt that,
since this unit is a SCSI II unit, but really behaves as a SCSI I unit.  I'd
say you're fine with 12 feet, IF and ONLY IF you use ACTIVE termination,
which I am hoping that scanner has internally.

The page you quoted, Tim, says 1.5M for Fast SCSI, which I don't believe
this scanner is, but it may very well be.  MOST scanners are barely SCSI
II...

I'll take a look at that scanners specs and see what it says.
