On a tp750, I have successfully used the Panasonic SCSI card with:
  the panasonic CD player
  a SCSI Zip unit
  a toshiba 4x CD ROM
  a 1.2G SCSI drive

In all cases I loaded the ASPI driver that came with the card/cd. The 
zip I had to run the program that comes with it to add a drive 
letter, the drive I had to run the drive driver that comes with 
Adaptec's EZ-SCSI software and the Toshiba worked with both the 
Panasonic CD driver and with the EZ-SCSI driver. (Apparently the 
Panasonic driver is a generic auto-sensing driver)

Also, I looked up Cables America: 1-800-348-USA4.

They sell 2 adaptors, both $35. The one to use the panasonic card 
with a centronics device is the Micro DB50F<-->C50M, I believe. They 
will, no doubt, be happy to send you a catalog.
