Such things generally are pretty dodgy.

Have you considered simply getting an older computer that properly supports 
SCSI, and just considering it your “scanning station?” You should be able to 
network them and move images between them more easily than trying to get a 
kludge adapter working reliably.

I have a last-century Mac permanently connected to my Roland Hi-Fi Jet printer 
for that very reason. The printer talks parallel port to an Appletalk dongle 
adapter. I wasted days with tech support trying to make this wonderful $16,000 
(in 2003) printer useful directly from a modern computer. Went through a 
similar exercise with my Color Getter drum scanner, and ultimately dedicated an 
old computer to it.
