As Degrub said, the very latest version of Nikon Scan doesn't support
SCSI scanners anymore.

The last NikonScan which still supports SCSI is 3.1. More info and

I would use Vuescan as a doorstop, although it would probably fail in
that as well... ;o)

Seriously, unless your requirements are really low, Vuescan is far too
buggy and unreliable. Free to try, though, although critical features
are disabled:

Others swear by SilverFast, also free to try but you must download a
scanner specific version:
