Hello, If your using the original hp scsi card no way will it work under Linux. It is totally proprietary to hp and is unfunctional outside of windows. However, if you get a standard scsi card, ensure it's a 50-pin syntronics or better yet bring your cable in to where you buy parts and say you need a card to match this, i use an advansys controller, and it works fine. As for OCR software if you find any please let me know. Thanks. Dave.
