ASPI = Advanced SCSI Peripheral Interface
- <storage, programming> (ASPI) A set of libraries designed to provide
programs running under Microsoft Windows with a
consistent interface for accessing SCSI devices. ASPI has become a de
facto standard.
- The ASPI layer is a collection of programs (DLLs) that together
implement the ASPI interface. Many problems are caused by device
manufacturers packaging incomplete sets of these DLLs with their
hardware, often with incorrect date stamps, causing newer versions to
get replaced with old. ASPICHK from Adaptec will check the ASPI
components installed on a computer.

Is your scanner connected to a SCSI controller?
I have "C:\WINNT\system\winaspi.dll" installed, but then I have an
Adaptec SCSI controller and presumably it installed this file. When I
right-click on the file and look at Properties -> Version, it says it is
from Adaptec. I know that I've installed Adaptec's SCSI drivers but I
thought Windows also included some embedded drivers. Maybe they don't
get installed when you install Windows if there are not SCSI controllers
in the machine at the time.
