Is there a way to convert a 50 pin cable on an older HP Scanjet 5p scanner to fit a 25 pin port on a Dell laptop?

[Edit]

Answer

I believe there is an adapter you can buy that will allow the conversion, but I believe that scanner uses a SCSI port, not a lpt printer or parallel port. If that's the case, then you need to find yourself a PCMCIA SCSI Card for your laptop. Go to adaptec's website, there you will find everything you'll need and then some. Or checkout Dell's website, they should offer something.
