Looks I forgot the driver for the scanner and on epson's website there is no drivers
not even for vista, oh well btw it is a epson perfection 1200s looks like it is too old.
thanks to those who replied.
Hi Lee,
I had to buy a new card. Fortunately I also built a new computer at
the same time, because it requires a new bus as well. I bought an
Adaptec 29320 LPE from Amazon.com (best price). It is a PCI-E card,
so it would not have worked in my old machine. Not only does it work
in Windows 7, but Windows update has already updated the driver once.
I also flashed the BIOS to the latest version.
I would not go to all this trouble for a scanner, unless it was a
particularly fancy one. I had a new tape drive, and I *had* to have
SCSI.
Good luck! :-)
Jim
