I have had a 2906 in my BWG3 rev 2 since the day I bought it, two + half
years ago. Worked flawlessly. I have it connected to a Microtek X6 Scanner
and a Iomega Zip Plus [the parallel/SCSI one which caused some people
trouble and has been taken off the market but I have had no trouble with
it.] The two are in daisy chain with the Zip last. I think I have downloaded
one updated driver for the 2906.
