It's a SCSI device, it works fine.

The current version of NikonScan 3.1 works fine.

  To use the Nikon software, you may need to install Adaptec's ASPI layer
(... you should be able to find a XP compatible version at the Adaptec
wwwsite...).  If you want to use Vuescan, check Ed's wwwsite
.., it seems to me there specific issues for XP
behaviours, but it's a simple fix.  In the end, your Coolscan will work.

  Julian - I upgraded to Win XP yesterday and also to Nikon Scan ver
3.1.2.  You can get this from the Nikon website.  My Nikon Coolscan 3 seems
to work well with this setup.  I previously ran Win 2000.  The scanner does
not show in my Device Manager hardware list, but I think that is related to
my SCSI card and not necessarily the scanner itself.  This does not affect
its performance on my system.  I know this scanner does not match the
performance of the newer machines, but I have been very pleased with the 8
x 10 prints made from its scans and satisfied with the 11 x 14 prints.  I
also run Vuescan for this scannner under Win XP.
