[ale] OT: Weird and Wonderful, but whatizzit? (YATP)

[John Mills]

ALErs -

For comic relief, _Yet_Another_Trash_Pick_:
                 LogiTech PageScan Color K3-ADF

A small, page-feeding color scanner that can also get up and crawl across
the page (scarey!).  Connects _via_ some kind of DIN plug (circular, PS-2
sized but 2 more pins where PS-2 is keyed) - perhaps like Apple's old
serial connector, but I only find references to parallel and USB versions
of this animal. Same plug must also provide power, as there are no other
connnectors.

Supportability: zip, naturally. Twice-orphant product (first by LogiTech,
then by 'Storm Technologies' - name now owned by a drainage system
vendor), but it seems to still have some hardy loyalists out there.

LogiTech still provides a download with most of the original installation
CD. (I find that _really_ weird!)

TIA for any information on how this wonder connected/interfaced/worked.

Cheers.
