This one.

Is that a standard usb cable or does it have prolific chip ?

It doesn't have a chip.

Apparently I am missing something here. I ordered that cable but I do not see where it connects to the bcd996p2. I see a serial port but no USB port. Do I have to order a USB to serial adapter as well??

One end plugs into the PC.

The other end plugs into the scanner under the Silver Knob.
