For a year I was running my Scanner OK. On my Gateway 246 machine
Then I acquired a week ago a Compaq Presario 2292 (a budget price machine) and
it wont take the scanner. 
It seems that the sockets that take the scanner card within the machines are
different. The old one was about 5"long whilst the new one is about 3"long
Contacting either Compaq or HP is a hopeless task and their web sites don't seem
to cover this sort of problem.
Is there an economical solution to the problem ? Can you buy a HP Compatible
replacement card from any place. Help needed .
