In either case the ASPI driver is not the problem. The card needs to be known to the OS before the ASPI layer comes to play a role. Is your SCSI cable properly terminated if it is longer than 2 feet? Some low end SCSI controllers may disappear as if not exist if no SCSI device is detected. If your SCSI cable is not properly terminated then your scanner may not be seen and so is the controller. Try to terminate the cable if it is not already so. Try a different PCI slot. Some BIOS have problems supporting PCI cards in certain slots. Quoton

RE: filmscanners: SCSI card not recognized by Win2K
Hi Larry, you can install an older version of Adaptec?s ASPI layer (like version 1019). The older versions don?t ask for Adaptec hardware. With an older version of the layer on your system you can update to the new aspi. regards Andi > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Larry Berman > Sent: Monday, March 12, 2001 2:42 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: filmscanners: SCSI card not recognized by Win2K > > > Yes, of course I tried other slots.

RE: filmscanners: SCSI card not recognized by Win2K
Thanks David, I finally got the computer to recognize both the SCSI card and the scanner. It only took about thirty tries. Now when I try to start Insight I get the following error message: PolaColor Insight An error occurred while initializing the WindowsASPI dll. The file wnaspi32.dll maybe old or missing. I tried bringing the same file (wnaspi32.dll) over from my other Win98SE computer and dropping it into the WinNT system folder but then I get the following error message: Software support for SCSI is available but no SCSI boards were found. Please call Polaroid Customer Support for assistance. In addition, VueScan does not see the scanner.

RE: filmscanners: SCSI card not recognized by Win2K
Larry Here is my experience with this: Bill Thanks to the many Filmscanners who helped solve my problem(SS 4000 not recognized in Win 2K). Conclusion was. 1. Install new drivers for the AdvanSys ABP-3922-00 SCSI card from http://www.connectcom.net/downloads/fastultra.html. Connect.com is the new name for the AdvanSys site. This installed a driver called Fast Ultra Narrow SCSI, which then showed up properly in Device Manager. Win 2K itself had a driver for the AdvanSys card which loaded automatically on setup, but it was out-dated. 2. Install new NTASPI32 with the installer from http://advansys.com/support/ntwnaspi32.html. A trick here was that the Adaptec installer did not work(gave a message that there was no Adaptec card on my system). The Polaroid Support staff and some others advised me to use the Adaptec site, but that would never work for me. Also, the AdvanSys CD that originally came with my SS4000(December 1999) had outdated drivers. In this AdvanSys site, there was a choice of a GUI installer or a simple system where you just copy the NTASPI and WNASPI files to two different WIN NT folders. I used the GUI and it was all automatic. 3. Now I had the right drivers and ASPI layer, but the scanner was still not recognized. I had to physically remove the AdvanSys card and reboot with the card out of the system(no longer showed up in the Device Manager). Then I shut down, put the AdvanSys card back in, and started up again. Voila! Works pefectly so far with the SS4000 using either Vuescan or PolaColor Insight. I still have a problem with Win2K system freezes when using Windows Explorer, and my USRobotics modem is not working. But all applications like Photoshop 6 and ThumbsPlus are working better than they did on Win 98 or Me. Dual Boot with Win Me working fine. I'll solve the other problems, but I couldn't have solved the ASPI problem without your help. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Larry Berman Sent: Sunday, March 11, 2001 5:42 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: filmscanners: SCSI card not recognized by Win2K Yes, of course I tried other slots.
