Just won a few SCSI cards - even found drivers for some of them.
Is SCSI still used?
Thanks.

Mostly just for older (legacy) equipment. I've still got one CD-R
burner, an HP scanner, and some DAT drives which use SCSI. All of
these are 5-10 years old.

Thanks - I had a HP scanner that I expected to continue using indefinitely,
the card that came with it was 8 bit ISA. When I upgraded out the ISA
motherboards, I couldn't get the install disc to recognise a generic SCSI
card.

Yeah. Unfortunately, a lot of the DOS and Windows software for
scanners and similar special-use peripherals was coded up to talk
directly to a specific model of interface card, and would work with
none other.
If you were exceptionally lucky, the vendor would have provided a
higher-level API such as TWAIN, which could run on top of a more
generic hardware-driver interface (e.g. on top of the generic ASPI
interface to SCSI cards that provided such a driver).
If you're stuck... consider dual-booting a Linux distribution. Linux
has support for all of the popular SCSI interface cards,

I'm not stuck - I just won a bag of SCSI cards and wondered whether they're
still any use for anything.

I've got a Mitutoyo CMM here that's interfaced with SCSI. I'd bet the
newer ones are USB. The market for your cards is in keeping older
equipment such as this working for another decade or so.
