It sounds like the scanner isn't being recognized during the boot process. The SCSI bios not found message just means that the bootstrap enabling bios isn't on your scsi card (or not enabled in the scsi card's setup). I believe that this is the problem. If the SCSI BIOS is not installed, then

I mis-spoke(wrote?) when describing a DOS portion of the boot process. I should have said the POST portion (power on self test) when hardware initializes prior to OS loading. WinNT/2k/XP do not, in fact, have DOS boot routines. However, the scsi bios not loaded will not prevent non-bootable scsi

Ron-- Digital ICE works well on many if not most Kodachrome slides. What happens is that when there is a lot of cyan content, Digital ICE sometimes gives unpredictable results. Of course, any dark part of the image will have a lot of cyan. What happens is that you loose high frequency detail.
