You may also have to clear out the twain32 directory with the scanner
files - look for a name that matches the scanner and delete the files in
the directory. and TWUNK as well.

Did you load the proper ASPI layers ? you can get the latest from
adaptec. Also run ASPIchk after to verify no errors. XP does not have
native ASPI support.

I inherited a Kodak Digital Science 3500D scanner. This is a 2001
vintage and uses a Kofax Adrenaline SCSI board in the PC running XP.

I downloaded the TWAIN driver and diagnostics from the Kodak website
but the diagnostics cannot recognize the scanner. What is really
strange about this is that I have some demo Kofax applications that
actually cause the paper to feed and be scanned. Other software from
Kodak and Presto Pagemanager do not recognize the scanner at all.

I'm having trouble reconciling how some applications are actually
working with the scanner while the diagnostics and other demo software
from Kodak do not recognize the scanner at all.

Lots of Adaptec references. Though I'm familiar with their SCSI
offerings, this card is a Kofax accelerator card if that makes any
difference.

What has been suggested needs to be followed irrespective of the brand
of SCSI card.

Also you have to check and get the ASPI driver for XP which can be
downloaded from Adaptec site. This has been mentioned twice now.

Make sure when you boot the PC have the device switched on. Then check
in the device manager that the PC is seeing the device - not just the
SCSI card.

Lets know if you can see the device as its becoming obvious that its not
being seen. This requires all the drivers(3)for XP to be installed.

Plus the XP Scanner drivers Kodak Digital Science 3500D.- Hide quoted text -

I installed the Adaptec ASPI layer and ran aspichk.exe. It reported
that Wowpost.exe and WNASPI.DLL were not installed as it should as I
installed for Win XP. I reinstalled the Kofax Adrenaline and Kodak
3500D drivers. The latter is a combination driver/ diagnostic called
kds_bitonal_080400.exe. You are correct the Adrenaline board is being
seen however the Kodak 3500D is not. Doesn't seem to be a way to pick
it up pNp or by forcing it.

Adaptec's ASPI package often fails on XP and sometimes on Win98SE also.
But it MUST be installed for SCSI scanners to work.
Try ForceASPI 1.7. It will work, does version 4.6 of the files, which is
fine.
You should have installed:
aspi32.sys
wowpost.exe
winaspi.dll
snaspi32.dll
These can be confirmed by aspichk.exe

Just google for forceaspi or force aspi to find it.
