As a note, at this point in time, there are little by way of drivers for scanners (or printers, for that matter) on the market for Vista X64 OSs - or for that matter XP X64 OSs. As for ASPI Layers, Microsoft also is displaying little interest in supporting them in the future - especially for X64 systems.
I have been able to get a Umax Powerlook II SCSI flatbed Scanner to work under Vista X32 using the old XP X32 Twain driver that came with scanner without problems; but that X32 bit driver will not work with an X64 bit OS. I have to wonder if your X64 Vista system even recognizes the SCSI card - let alone the scanner attached to it. If it does recognize the SCSI card, than the ASPI layer may not be the problem; the scanner driver may be the problem, since it probably is a 32 bit TWAIN driver. There never has been, I am told, a 64 bit twain driver written for public release. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Sunday, June 10, 2007 10:14 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [filmscanners] Re: Nikon LS30 & Vista > > I use a Minolta Dimage 5400 II running under X64 (precursor to Vista). > It is USB interfaced, so SCSI isn't exactly an issue.
