Re: HP Scanner 6100c - SCSI

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

The scanner will not work, period, until the scsi card is operating properly
in XP. Do not pass go, do not collect $200 until you fix this. That is,
ignore the scanner problem until you get the scsi card working.

98/98SE to ME "upgrades" had similar hardware driver problems. That is, ME
may not have had the proper hardware driver, but was able to use the prior
driver during the upgrade install. A ME OS overinstall, after the upgrade
install, would result in inoperability of such hardware.
