RE: filmscanners: SCSI card not recognized by Win2K
Is it PCI or ISA? Did you try it in another slot? I found that I couldn't get the SCSI card that came with my SS4000 to be recognized by Win2K. It's an AdVanSys card and I downloaded the Win2K updated drivers but they wouldn't install because the computer didn't see the card at all. Any suggestions before I purchase an Adaptec 2930 tomorrow? The card works great in my other computer running Win98SE with both the SS4000 and an Epson Perfection 1200S chained together.

RE: filmscanners: SCSI card not recognized by Win2K
Yes, of course I tried other slots. The card didn't show up in the device manager. I also tried downloading the ASPI utility from Adaptec but it wouldn't install because I didn't have an Adaptec card on the system. The card was not in the device manager, but the scanner was after installing Insight but nothing I would do, short of scanning from the older computer. would work. I'm tired of troubleshooting back and forth between computers running different operating systems. If anyone has a logical suggestion that a will make a $79 purchase unnecessary I'll evaluate it. Even if I get it working, I still need a card for the other computer so I might as well get one that's actually Win2K ready. Larry BTW, it's PCI. ISA is to old for Win2K. ::: Larry Berman Web Sites for Artists: http://BermanGraphics.com Compare Image Compression from the top Graphics Programs: http://ImageCompress.com Explore the Art Show Jury process from a web site: http://ArtShowJury.com :::

Hi David, I tried but they're closed until 8:00 Monday morning. That's the trouble with spending the weekend working on a new computer system. Fortunately I can diagnose and solve most problems myself, and with the help of a good forum get the rest on track. Larry David Hemingway wrote: Call tech support.

BTW, it's PCI. ISA is to old for Win2K. Not true. I use an ISA GPIB card with no problem at all. WRT your problem, does the board show up in the boot screen? If so, does it have an IRQ allocated to it?

Larry, The below link should take you to a Win2K/Advansys FAQ on the Polaroid web site. Let me know if this is or is not helpful. For others on this list www.plaroidwork.com has a service and support section containing many FAQ's on the Sprintscan 4000.

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
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.
