[filmscanners] RE: Epson scanner drivers will not stay installed

["LAURIE SOLOMON" <laurie@advancenet.net>]

Bernie,

I was searching for the proper name for the Adaptec layer and could not
remember it; but you came up with it.  It is the ASPI layer that I was
referring to.  I am not sure if it is called or qualifies as a "driver" but
it is a file that is used with SCSI devices.  It can also be obtained on the
Adaptec web site, I believe.  If I recollect correctly, there is also a
program for forcing the installation of the ASPI layer on Microsoft systems
which rejected it.
