I have had problems trying to run two scanners off a SCSI card wherein one of the scanners insisted that it be loaded first or else it would not load. Others have said that they have run into a similar thing with a SCI card where one of the scanners insisted on being given a specific ID assignment on the SCSI card or on the card being put into a specifc slot on the motherboard. Maybe a similar thing is taking place where the two scanner drivers are in conflict due to the way they load. If one keeps the Polaroid turned off, doe the Epson continue to lose its driver recognition? It might also be a conflict between the other USB devices and the scanner. I assume that all the USB devices are plugged into their own ports on the motherboard or they are all plugged into a powered hub.

I have a Polaroid SprintScan 120 film scanner (firewire interface) and an Epson 1650 scanner (USB interface. In addition, I have a multi-card reader and a trackball that also have USB interfaces. My problem is that I have to reinstall the drivers for the Epson scanner almost every time I use it. My operating system is Windows 2000. Has anyone experienced this problem? The Epson scanner also has a SCSI interface. Maybe using it would help. I haven't done that because the scanner has a 50-pin connector and my Adaptec SCSI card has a 25-pin connector - I guess there's such a thing as an adapter. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
