From my experience and what I read in the NT newsgroups don't bother 
with anything other than an Adaptec card. I would note that you 
shouldn't bother with the floppy adapters on their cards. I was having 
problems with my floppies (only under NT) until I stoppped using the one 
on my SCSI card  and fitted a no-name multi-I/O card, the floppies now 
work perfectly.

Just to remind you, MS say that you shouldn't buy an caching adapter 
because NT has its own disk cache.

Have you checked the Hardware Compatilibility List. If they are no on it 
do EPSON supply NT drivers? If not forget it. if you read 
comp.os.ms-windows.nt.misc you will regularly find people trying to get 
non-HCL kit working under NT. An HP scanner will probably be a safe bet.
