Sorry, won't help.  His bus is hosed.  The whole 50 pin -> 25 pin converter
thing only works when the scanner is the only thing on the bus.  When you
start mixing it with other internal devices that want decent transfer speeds,
it ends up hosing the bus.  In short, I don't think he'll have much luck as
long as he has his bus wired the way he does, and the constant PARITY_ERROR
messages in the log files are a clear indication that the bus wiring is having
problems coping with the combination of bus topology and bus speed.
