You should be able to find a SCSI-2 to 25 pin DSUB cable at a computer
store. I would suggest taking the SCSI card and scanner cable to the
store so you can show them what you need. The other option although not
as elegant is to use an adapter but I think you'll be happier with the
right cable.
Good luck
