The ThunderScan predates the round mini-din 8 serial ports and so has an extra adapter box for the Mac Plus and newer. I was having *no* luck with the SE and my not-quite-complete cables.
Then last night just before midnight I realised that I could ditch the adapter box and plug straight into the 512, right?
Turns out that yes, I can! And it works! (just about)
