Alex,

SCSI does have definite cable length limits. The user manual, page 33, for
the SprintScan 45

http://www.polaroid.com/service/userguides/digital/ss_45_ug.pdf

says 19' total so at 12' you should be okay. Don't forget to count internal
cable length and any other cables in the chain.

For good info on SCSI and good cables check out Granite Digital:

http://www.scsipro.com/

and Adaptec's site:

By examining the connectors on the scanner (you probably have two choices,
50-pin Centronic and D25-pin) and the connection on your computer you should
be able to figure out what cable you need. This is rather confusing as there
are 4 or 5 different kinds of SCSI plugs
