For Win95/98/me/w2k(aka nt5):
The scsi devices need to be turned on prior to booting only if it requires
the scsi bios to be loaded -- bios only needs to be loaded for disk/bootable
devices. So for scanners, no need to do so. Just use the device manager
and click on refresh.
For nt/Win3.x:
machine.

If you want to turn on your SCSI device after your computer is already
booted, No problem. Just right click on MY
COMPUTER, left click on properties,select DEVICE Manager

It certainly does *not* work on my Windows 98 machine - the SCSI devices

It works with my LS30 and the Scanjet IIIc. Scanners shouldn't be a
problem. The most likely devices that would need to be seen at SCSI BIOS
load would be hard

Have you tried it? I've been using that method for years. It works about 95%
of the time.
Well it works without any problem for now one year on my W2k machine with
sp2 installed...

I received several replies with helpful information from my original email.
My choices seem to be
Acer 2740
Canon FS2710
Minolta Scan Dual
The Acer and Canon are SCSI connections and the Minolta is USB. I think I
remember reading that slide scanners with USB sometimes cause problems.

For about the same price you can get the Acer
