Re: XP/Umax incompatibility

Note that what "CSM1" posted is correct, but if your scanner uses an SCSI
interface, and most of the Umax scanners do, you will probably need to
download and install the ASPI software layer components from Adaptec's web
site. Windows versions through Windows 2000 included it, Windows XP does
*not* include the ASPI software components.
