Re: Vanishing SCSI board

There should not be a hardware irq conflict at the bios level as it worked
in 98, remember? Am assuming, even though you did not specify, that the
scsi controller card and scanner were present and working in 98.

The problem is the translation for 98 to XP in how the driver software works
in relation to the scsi controller. If the scsi controller is not visible,
the scanner will not work at all since this is the interface for the scanner
for the PC.

If you can't get it to work, pull out your current scsi card. Uninstall any
active scsi drivers and scanner software.
Get an Adaptec scsi card with the proper external 50 pin connector, an
active terminator for the external scsi cable and a Microtek Scanmaker X12
USL model. Its worked flawlessly for me in XP, unaffected by sp1 and sp2.
Also has a USB 2.0 interface. Not cheap to go this route.
