It's USB, so you're out of my realm.  We _do_ have one PC (hansolo) with a
USB port, but we never configured it.  If I were you, I'd specifically try
to convince Jim that he wants to do this for you.  (Yes, he reads this
list).

What's the interface on that?  If you got it for a Mac, it may well be SCSI,
in which case, it won't work with any of our clients.  If it's parallel or
USB, we can do it.  (For the latter, I'd hook it up.  For the former, you'd
have to convince someone else to do it).

I'll look into it.  Their restrictions will be spelled out more explicitly
elsewhere, and I'll have to go read those.  Thanks.
