Adptec SCSI card

[Robert M Jones]

I am building a new system box to move from my
older Win98Se system. I will be installing XP Home
in the new box and transferring as many of my
existing peripherals as possible.

One piece of hardware I am not sure about is my
Epson Perfection 1200S SCSI scanner, attached to a
SCSI card (Adaptec PCI SCSI 2903B).

I have downloaded an XP Twain driver file from
Epson. Am I correct in assuming that XP will have
its own drivers for the Adaptec SCSI card?

(I have run the XP Upgrade advisor on my old
system to see what it says about the connected
peripheral hardware - and got the following
flagged in the Hardware section:
"Hardware That Might Need Additional Files
The following hardware might need additional files
in order to work with Windows XP. Contact your
hardware vendors to obtain Windows XP compatible
updates. In many cases, if a Windows XP version is
not yet available, a Windows 2000 compatible
update should work. It is recommended that you
obtain these drivers in advance.Please note that
some of the following entries might be software
that is registered as hardware.
Imaging Device - EPSON Perfection1200"

It didn't mention the SCSI card.

TIA

I would usually obtain drivers direct from manu, rather than rely on win
default drivers, however Adaptec does not list a PCI SCSI 2903B, they do
list a 2930B which does not have a winxp driver

Thanks - it is definitely 2903B.
I'm installing XP on a minimal hardware
configuration to start with, then adding cards one
by one so we will see what Windows says about it
when it finds it.

Good luck; I noticed this card was supplied as part of a scanner pkg from
some manu's
