Hello All
Anyone here know of any scsi cards that are supported under Windows 7?
I have a scsi scanner I would like to use.

Have you checked whether your scanner driver is available for 64 bit Win?

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!  :-)

not even for vista, oh well btw it is a epson perfection 1200s looks like it is too old.


thanks to those who replied.

no drivers
it is too old.

Unfortunately we are all reminded all too frequently that hardware is
all about software drivers.  The hardware may be fine, but without the
appropriate software drivers it is worthless.

BTW, these new Canon LED scanners are really great and they only cost
about $100.00.

Good luck!  :-)
