I have a very old SCSI scanner -- an HP ScanJet IIp from 1994, which was
used with an AT 486DX system whose I/O daughterboard appears to have
failed. The SCSI card that was from this system is ISA and there are no
drivers, so there is little hope that I can see that I can make it work
in a working system I have access to.

What I'm wondering is what chance there would be, if I bought a new SCSI
PCI card for my current Windows XP system and plugged this scannner into
it, that I could make it work?

Any thoughts?

I use an Adaptec 2940 for my (old) HP scanner, IIRC a IIc. No SCSI
drivers needed, the HP drivers for the scanner works well with the
2940 card. No problems at all.

I run HP IIcx on XP, Adaptec 2930.
XP had the Adaptec driver.
I use the old HP DeskScan software (VueScan works with it also).
You just have to add ASPI drivers as XP does NOT have that; had to use
ForceASPI as the latest one from Adaptec would not install correctly.
