Adaptec 29160 // 2940 // SCSI connection...
I have an Adaptec 2940AU card from my old 32bit system. I used it to drive a Nikon scanner with a 50pin-50pin connection cable. Now, that card is not supported under W7/64 for my new PC.
I have also an Adaptec 29320LPE: External: 68pin VHDCI, Internal 68pin Ultra320 (PCI-e)
I have an Adaptec 29160: External 68-pin LVD, plus internal { 68pin LVD; 68pin UW-SCSI; 50pin Ultra SCSI } (PCI)
I have googled around until I have a headache. How to use what I have got to get the Nikon scanner working on my W7/64. I have PCI and PCI-e slots available. I have not found a 68-50 adaptor cable, which seems basically what I need to use either of these. Then there is also a question about this requirement in the Nikon manual: DOS ASPI-compatible SCSI board with WINASPI.DLL. Are these two faster boards DOS ASPI-compatible? As I understand it, WinAspi is a DLL which must serve Aspi calls on the SCSI device? The faster boards have 64-bit drivers, so....?
I am not a computer geek who has all this stuff at their fingertips, but I am sure there will be such a person on your site.
