Connecting is easy enough -- just make sure the two scanners have two
different SCSI IDs (you have 7 blank SCSI IDs to be used).

Sure, scsi boards can run up to 7 devices.  Just daisy chain them together, and 
terminate the last one on the cable.  Each one must be jumpered to a unique 
scsi ID.

Hi,

I am currently running a flatbed scanner, a slide scanner, a CD cutter
and SCSI hard disk all off the same SCSI chain on one PC. Make sure each
device has a unique SCSI id and that you terminate the chain correctly
and all should be fine.

Best Regards

I'll second that. I've got and E-3 and a Coolscan running off the 1505
adaptec that came with the Nikon and all works like a charm. going to add a
zip drive soon.

Set the two scanners up on the SCSI card - if its a decent card not a
scanner manufacturer supplied proprietry one like we see these days -
with two different SCSI IDs - SCSI can handle 7 addresses / ids, even
if PCs aren't that smart!!
