Thanks for all the responses. I was able to get
the scanner to work but I had to use the
scsi card included with the scanner ( Adaptec AIC-7856 )
rather than my Tekram DC-390. The Tekram DC-390
has a HD50-pin connector and the Microtek X6EL has
a DB25-pin connector. So I needed to use use
a cable converter to connect the scanner to the
Tekram card. Perhaps the converter was defective,
or perhaps this type of cabling is always doomed.
The Adaptec AIC-7856 has a 25 pin connector and after
connecting the scanner to this card it works fine.
