PC Card SCSI ( Adaptec ) compatible with Epson 7000 / Perfection 636 and most CDR's?

I want to add a scanner to my DELL Inspiron laptop now, and later a CDR. I was planning to get the Epson GT-7000WINU (USB Japanese model), but I am now thinking about getting the SCSI version instead (WINP or WINS). That way, I'll have the UK drivers I can use (Epson 7000), and I'' be set up to use a CDR in the near future (I don't mind unplugging and plugging the different devices using only one at a time if need be). SCSI questions: 1) Will I be able to connect the Adaptec card to the scanner? 2) Aren't most CDR's SCSI devices, and will the Adaptec SCSI card have no problems work with them? Scanner questions: 3) Will the Epson UK drivers work with the Japanese WINP or WINS model (both are SCSI, I believe, but the WINS is much more common in the stores here in Japan)? Thank you for any help or pointers. Greg Conquest

It depends on the brand of NB and if the docking station is a full sized one as opposed to a simple port replicator. I do believe some IBM NB docking stations even have a built in scsi card and connector on the back. The docking station can also contain a CDROM drive, but this depends on the make and model. Why not contact the NB maker to see. Usually the docking station would offer at least 2 full sized ports and maybe even PCI slots. Ken

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.) Greg
