Yes, there are scanners on the market that are USB enabled. Also, there are serial port adapters for USB ports too. You should be able to get this at a local computer store. If they don't have anything like that, you can normally find a store on the web. I did that with my printer. Got a parallel adapter for my USB port. Now I can print and scan at the same time. Both are on USB ports.
