Butch, it all depends on whether you can get XP drivers for the peripheral.
When I upgraded my desktop to XP Pro, I had to move my flatbed scanner to
another PC as the manufacturer would not provide a driver.
http://www.windowsxp-drivers.com/ is a good site for a starting point to
obtain drivers, particularly for second-hand stuff where the maker no longer
is interested!

Subject: OT: XP and SCSI"S
Hi all
Computer question. I have a chance to buy an Epson Expression 800 flatbed
scanner for $75. It's scsi. I seem to remember reading here that scsi
doesn't work well with windows XP. Any thoughts on the matter including
price of the scanner would be appreciated. He is throwing in a scsi card
so I wouldn't need to buy one.
