RE: filmscanners: Canon: Adaptec scsi adapter

["F. James Eisenhart" <feisenha@san.rr.com>]

I just got a Canon 2710, and I did have some problems getting it to work
with my existing Adaptec 2740U SCSI card. It seems that Windows 2000 does
not install the Adaptec ASPI drivers by default (which I would have learned
right away if I had actually bothered the read the ViewScan README file),
and this prevented both ViewScan and the Canon software from recognizing the
scanner. Once I downloaded and installed ASPI, everything was fine.

There is a link to the ASPI stuff on the ViewScan homepage:

Good luck!

Sorry for sending something that could be considered OT.

Adaptec SCSI adapter supplied with Canon2710 does not have connector to
attach internal scsi devices. Meanwhile I use Symbolic Logic adaper,
with which Canon's native s/w fails to operate (VueScan works though).

Sometimes I want to try this CanoCraft to compare against VueScan. So,
does anyone have had any problems with Canon and SCSI adapters other
than the bundled one, if yes how did you solve them? I have also an
idea  to attach missing connector to Adaptec card - seems the card was
originally designed to have one, there is a place for it. Did anyone
tried doing that?

Thanks, Slava
