If they're scsi then yes, they all the have same pinouts. That "weird and stupid" connector was/is a standard on old MAC's. I assume the reason it was used on the scanners is that scanners can't send more data then 10/mb/sec and that they can intermix the slot/connector with the parallel port models of their scanner, saving on production costs. Good for them, not that good for us.

Hello.
This is, strictly speaking, entirely off topic,
but fairly important information if you actually
want to use a low-end "SCSI" scanner under Linux,
such as UMAX1220S, Agfa 1236S, Microtek X6 etc.
First of all: do scanners with the weird and stupid
(in the full technical sense) 25-way D-connectors all
have the same pinout ?
