I have had problems trying to run two scanners off a SCSI card wherein one
of the scanners insisted that it be loaded first or else it would not load.
Others have said that they have run into a similar thing with a SCI card
where one of the scanners insisted on being given a specific ID assignment
Which service pack? I've occasionaly had this happen on my XP machine
and after a while I just kept the driver in a known spot on the c-drive
so that I could have it find it when it asked. No need to pull out the
CD again and again.

Laurie,
I almost always have only one scanner turned on. I have each USB device
in its own port - Epson scanner, Epson printer, trackball, and
multi-card reader (that takes up two ports). I have tried switching
ports (a suggestion made by Epson). What's strange is that the only

John,
I have SP4 installed along with all the Critical updates. Also, I've
installed a suggested "fix" for failures to mount a drive.

Jim,
I'd try posting your question on the on the Windows support groups
Microsoft sponsors. The problem with the shutdown sequence suggests
that something needs fixing with the OS and that in turn should help
with the scanner driver situation. FWIW, I've not had problems with

Thanks, Bernie. I think I posted this problem on a Microsoft monitored
newsgroup a while back but the response didn't seem to fit the issues
I'm having. I'll give it another try.

Jim,
To test the USB scanner as SCSI device theory, you may want to install
an ASPI driver and see if that helps, then follow the same startup
sequence those of us using SCSI cards do (in my case a Polaroid 4000).
Ed Hamrick has a driver posted on his web site:

Bernie,
I was searching for the proper name for the Adaptec layer and could not
remember it; but you came up with it. It is the ASPI layer that I was
referring to. I am not sure if it is called or qualifies as a "driver" but
it is a file that is used with SCSI devices. It can also be obtained o

MS does play well with others; but only if it can be boss. :-)
Unfortunately, this seems to be a common failing of the whole industry.

Bernie and Laurie,
I have updated the ASPI files from the links Bernie provided. After
reboot I turned on the Epson scanner and the computer recognized it
immediately - no reinstallation of the drivers. I will try it again
tomorrow, after I use the SprintScan 120 and the card reader. If it

Two thoughts:
25 pins on the computer and 50 pins on the device was the standard SCSI configuration
for
years. 25-to-50 cables are probably more common than 50-to-50 cables. The extra 25

are just grounds (individually paired to each data line) and only really need to be
