TOPIC

    My scanner appears when I use SCSI probe to scan the bus, but there is an X through the extension at startup, and I cannot connect to it. I have downloaded and installed version 4.3 of the Scanner driver. I have an Adaptec 2906 SCSI card, an Apple Color OneScanner 1200/30 with a new Power Macintosh G3 (Blue and White) computer. Can you help?

DISCUSSION

    To use the scanner with an Adaptec SCSI card (and possibly others) you must do two things:

    • Place the most recent version of the SCSI Probe control panel (available from Adaptec's website) in your Control Panels folder, open it, select Preferences, and choose to "Mount SCSI volumes during startup."
    • Place version 4.3 of the scanner extension in your System Folder (not in the Extensions folder or any other folder within your System Folder).

    When you restart your computer, the scanner extension will load last and will not have an X through it, assuming the scanner is powered on and properly connected.

    If the extension still loads with an X through it, contact Adaptec to verify the ROM's on the SCSI card are version 4.3 compliant.
