I shan't mess with Vista. I just got an ASUS laptop which came with one
of the many flavors of Win 7, which flavor, however, is not one of those
that can do XP-mode or, I gather, fathom what an ASPI driver is for.
This is assuming I could even find some way to interface the SCSI of the
scanner to it.
My plan for now is to keep an image of my XP startup disk in safe
keeping and just slap it into the PC when I want to do a session of
scanning. Later I'll figure out how to partition the drive so that I
can boot either XP or 7. This would be in some sort of desktop setup.
I'd really like to get to the point where the ASUS pretty much takes
care of all of my current needs for both a laptop and desktop,
essentially eliminating the desktop. The ASUS monitor is just awesome
-- except for the viewing angle thing, equal to or better than my 22"
Samsung LCD.
