    suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.

    The pins of the DB25 to not hook up directly to the scanners. Those pins are usually connected to an ILDA show card. From the show card, there are connections tot he lasers (for controlling their output) and connections to the scanner amplifiers.

    Have a look at this guide:

    http://www.pangolin.com/resguide12.htm

    It will likely answer several of your questions. After reading it, if you still have some, come back here and fire away.

    EDIT:

    I just read through the above mentioned page. It doesn't discuss this in great detail. This one looks much better:
