I have a Polaroid SprintScan 4000 35mm film and slide scanner that I
would like to use with a CentOS 5.5 installation.

The scanner has a SCSI interface cable, and I was wondering if there is a
converter available to use the scanner with USB connection? If so, are
any special kernel modules or drivers necessary?

I can see you haven't tried Google.

Obviously the linux newsgroups are superfluous and should be close down, and
replaced by Google.

Here's one
http://www.usbgear.com/usb-to-scsi.html

There are others. Search the web for "usb scsi".

I've used a scsi to usb adapter to run a scsi scanner. With Linux - plug
it in and it works. MS wanted a driver.
