I am thinking at resurrecting my old parallel/scsi Epson GT9500 scanner but I only have a SCSI board onto my old Dual G4 PowerMac, is there any solution to go from SCSI female to any other port between USB or FW so that I can use the scanner on either a MacMini or a MBPro?

Grazie

There were USB-SCSI adapters a really long time ago but they didn't work well and you won't find drivers to work on anything close to a current computer. A new scanner will be much, much better, and you won't have compatibility issues.
 
As chrfr mentioned, the adapters to do this are no longer sold.
If you can find one, it might be overpriced, and may not even work for you.

Might be cheaper and easier to buy a USB scanner if you really need to use one much.
