You are correct, Martin, according to page 2-2 of this scanner manual you so
thoughtfully provided the URL for ;-), it shows a DB25 (do NOT use) and a
Centronics 50.  Use the Centronics 50, so a cable that has Centronics 50
(called SCSI I BTW, by most cable vendors) and a whatever on the other end
that matches your SCSI card, which should be what's called an HD50 (mini-50
pin D connector, HD meaning High Density).

According to page 2-8, this scanner MUST be externally terminated...so you
will also need an ACTIVE (NOTE ACTIVE is VERY important) in-line Centronics
terminator.  I have ordered SCSI stuff from www.scsistuff.com, so I
recommend them highly.  Whether they have an ACTIVE in-line 50 Centronics
terminator, I don't know...but I'd suggest really searching for one, and
don't settle for one that is not active!  Especially if you are going to use
a (if you can find one) 12' cable.  You may be able to only find a 6' cable,
and you really don't want to "chain" cables, as you degrade the signals.
