Thanks for the feedback. I decided to get the Adaptec APA1480 SCSI PC
card, and I did exchange the scanner for Epson's SCSI model. The
Japanese Epson GT-7000 is working fine with the UK Epson 7000 drivers,
as is the Adaptec Japan's APA 1480 with the US APA1480 drivers (I
think the "A" of the "1480A" may be referring to the two included SCSI
cables. Mine only had the high-density cable.)
