2009-06-04 Thread Charles Knox
It's been a long time since I last posted here — went digital and passed my SS4000 SprintScan on to someone with more use for it. The new owner tells me that the scanner tube has failed (after about a decade, not surprising, I suppose...) and has asked for aid in obtaining a replacement. My

I just noticed your postings, else I'd have weighed in earlier. Your problem may well just be that you have a SCSI adapter that isn't supported by Vista — not all that many are, apparently, and if Vista can't run the card then obviously it won't run anything that's attached to it either. I'd

I've built three machines using the GA K8N Ultra-9 board, one for myself, 2 for others. So far it's about the most stable board I've ever used, runs all AMD 64 single and dual core processors up to the FX60 and is happy with nearly anything you throw at it. The other two users are equally

My 2c cents here: USB printers, scanners and other peripherals that plug into the wall or are battery-powered typically don't draw power from the USB port so are not affected by the 500mA limit. The 7-in-1 card reader may be marginal in its power requirement, and some motherboards are less
