"Proper" cards usually have a BIOS extension rom to make the SCSI interface visible to the OS software. (Adaptec usuually put their logo on the screen during the boot up while it is initialising things). If you haven't got such a card, you will need a SCSI driver for your one... you might get that from the scanner manufacturer's web site. (if you can't find the installation floppies). I am guessing that this is the problem --- somehow that driver has been clouted. So the ASPI driver can't find a SCSI device to interface to the OS.	Graham L (2)

The ASPI drivers windows needs can be downloaded from http:://www.adaptec.com Also a driver for the scanner is needed. If you have installed a NEW scanning package it may have removed / damaged the needed driver for the scanner. If this is the case check your old scanning software and see if you can install the driver seperate from the rest of the package.	ugh1 (4204)
