In the latter case you will also need a matching cable and the appropriate driver for the adapter. And possibly a terminator. If you don't have these they are cheap on Ebay but you'll need some idea of SCSI technology: http://www.scsi-planet.com/ > Do you know if this scanner is supposed to be plug and play? No I don't. I don't even know if plug and play can apply to SCSI devices. I escaped from Microsoft when Win95 was still new. Looks like you have three options: 1 Gamble some cash on the SCSI bits and finding a Win98 driver that works. 2 Gamble some cash on the SCSI bits and install Linux. It's just as easy to be a novice in Linux as Windows:-) 3 Buy a different scanner that you know will work in Win98. Martin PS. If you reply to the list and not just to me then other people can chip in and the whole conversation will be archived for the benefit of future generations.
