Win95 + Adaptec EZ-SCSI 4.0 problems

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...
