Just joined this list, so I did not catch the start of this thread, but
here goes a best shot at the info I have.
Dave Haynie, if you are attempting to connect a UMAX 1200S to just any
SCSI chain, you may be disapointed. This scanner will only work with
SCSI cards with a modest bandwith. If you attempt to connect it to a
SCSI adapter like the Adaptec 2940UW you will be disapointed (it will
not work). You can make it works with the 2940UW if you choke the
2940UW down to a lower bandwidth via bios settings (but this negates to
bandwith to all conected devices, so why did you pay so much for a high
performance SCSI adapter?).
The UMAX website has a list of Adaptec SCSI adapters that will work with
the 1200S.
If you stay with a SCSI adapter that does not exceed SCSI II, most
likely you will be OK. Some other higher performance adapters may work
(but they are a gamble).
I have no knowlege about this scanners accomidation of NT.
Enjoy! Lon

Actually, the scanner itself runs fine in NT with a good SCSI card and
ASPI driver. It's only the supplied $10 SCSI card that didn't work. If
you already have SCSI, this isn't an issue (there's probably no reason
to add the second card). If not, well, I wouldn't pick my scanner based
on the bundled SCSI anyway, but if you do, it's probably not going to
work under NT.
