In the following we will show you how to get your scanner operational again while keeping its original SCSI controller card. The missing driver that allows you to keep using the proven and nowadays cheap to obtain SCSI host adapters like the various versions of Adaptec's AHA-2940 does exist for both Windows 7 64 bit and Windows 8 64 bit though. Cables to adapt scanners to such controllers tend to be expensive and even after successfully connecting a scanner it often would not work properly in our tests. Only more modern Ultra160 SCSI controllers received official drivers for 64 bit Windows. Neither Microsoft nor Adaptec officially offer such a driver for download. While Vuescan does support most SCSI scanners on these operating systems a suitable driver to keep using the required SCSI host adapter is often missing.
