Your best bet may be to find a resonably current PCI scsi card, with
the right flavor of SCSI connectors, on ebay, but first, consider that
you can buy a good IDE cd writer for $40 (newegg) and a nice USB
flatbed scanner is $70 (best buy), both with XP drivers and modern
application software. (if you have a very fancy scanner you are on
your own.)
Before you proceed with SCSI, Do the burner and scanner have XP
applications avaiable ?
How old are the scanner and burner ? Some of these had real crappy
SCSI interfaces and may not be happy on a modern controller, even if
it should work on paper.
