Can I connect SCSI scanner to USB port with adapter

"VG" a écrit dans le message de news:

I have a SCSI Canon FS2710 slide scanner which I have previously been using
on my old pc, connected via a PCI SCSI card.

I now have a new pc, and am wondering if there is such a thing as a
conversion kit or special cable that will enable me to connect the scanner
to a USB port on this new machine.

This new machine is a P4 3.2GH, and comes with only three PCI expansion
slots. I am reluctant to use one of these slots for a SCSI card, as they
may
well be needed for other devices.

Any suggestions would be most welcome

I was able to connect an old Flat Scanner model Microtek Phantom4800 SCSI
via a USB1.1 to SCSI converter from PortGear.
It was working perfectly under WindowsMe with the current scanner drivers
and twain applications.

Now under windows XPproSP2, hardware wise it's still working (for SCSI disk
or removavable SCSI disk it works fine).

But, I'm getting problems with my old scanner because I don't have proper
drivers and utilities for Win XP ...

So good luck for your case.

You can most likely find the latest driver he
http://www.support.microtek.com/

There is a new XP driver for ScanMaker 4800, maybe that is your model.

It still works for me, try it again. This is a USA link, I do not know if it
works for the rest of the world. It is a link to support and not directly to
a specific scanner model.

This is the international gateway to Microtek.

BTW, my scanner is a Microtek Phantom 4800 ... I think it's a different
model than ScanMaker 4800 ???? Older ??

This is the link to Microtek Taiwan Driver downloads (English site), No
Windows XP, but there is Windows 9x/ME/NT. Windows XP is a version of NT.
http://202.39.72.2/Mii/Web/driver_download.php

They list 6 Phantom scanners, none are listed as 4800. They list 330, 336,
and C6.

The Microtek Europe site seems to be down.
