I recently installed EZ-SCSI 4.0 on my Asus TP4XE based system running Win95. I have a SoundBlaster 16 SCSI-2 and a Umax scanner, along with an IDE disk drive and IDE CDROM. Per Umax's suggestion, I defined the SCSI adapter hardware using the "Add New Hardware" tool (it sizes and comes up fine) and then added an ASPI2DOS line to my CONFIG.SYS file. Having done all of this, the scanner works fine; Umax's test program works just dandy, and I can scan stuff into Photoshop using the TWAIN driver. Two problems: 1) None of the Adaptec tools recognize the SCSI interface nor the scanner. Things like SCSI Explorer, Quick Scan, etc don't "see" the SCSI interface on the SB16. 2) Interestingly, my IDE disk drive and IDE CDROM drive show up in the Adaptec tools as SCSI devices, and the IDE controllers (the on-momboard ones) show up as SCSI host adapters! Is this normal? Expected? What gives? Also per Umax's suggestion, I have tried renaming the SPARROW.MPD file so that it doesn't get loaded with the same results: the TWAIN driver works fine, but the Adaptec tools don't recognize the bus or the scanner. Can anyone give me a clue? Much appreciated... tjk ______________________________________________________________________________ Tom Karpowitz Executive Summary: Member of Technical Staff Solaris is good.
