I am looking for info on a HP SCANJET PLUS:

I have the chance to purchase a Scanjet+ at a real
reasonable price, but I need to find some info about
interfacing it to a pc.  The system that it is presently on is a MAC,
and I wish to interface it to a 386SX.  In magazines I have seen ads
for the interface and software for about $400.  Is this interface
just a parallel port?  If it is just a parallel port, could I 
just install some device drivers, connect to a free parallel
port, and use PD scanner software?  Are there any interfaces for
this scanner that are better that the HP original one?  Will any other 
interface work?  Any suggestions appreciated!

Please e-mail if possible.

thanks,
Bob Sullivan
