maybe down to the fact that the plug on the back of the cheapo HP SCSI
cards uses the same 25 pin canon D plug as the parallel port??

Not being at all familiar with the non-business range of Compaq Pcs I
wonder if there is an outside chance of an ISA slot lurking on the back of a
riser card? possibly necessitating removal of the psu to gain easy access.
Common on some low profile desktop cases, can't say I've seen it on a
tower though.

Scanner model number would be a good place to start.
