SCSI card for HP 4c Scanner

[BlackNinja]

I need help... I recently got a new system with XP on it. However I have a problem because i could not get the scanner to work since i don't XP doesn't have the driver for the SCSI card that goes with the scanner... I think i have to get a new SCSI card.. but i dunno what to get.. because this card has 25 pins external and I can't seem to find one out there.. Anyhelp on getting this scanner works would be appreciated..

Adaptec 2906. Under $50 at hypermicro.com, 25-pin connector.

I had a 2940 using it with my old scanner. I used it for several months till my scsi card gave out for some reason. Cheaper just to buy a decent usb scanner in the long run. Though the hp4c is a killer scanner for what you can pick them up for usually >$30

well i been having this scanner for like 4 years now.. and i love it.. but i recently got a new computer and the SCSI card taht came with the scanner doesn't have driver other than windows 95.. i already order the 2906 SCSI card from hypermicro.com

Adaptec charge a fortune for those low end SCSI cards. Use a Tekram 315 or 310U, LSI 20860, or
any noname card with an LSI 810 chip on. Should be no more than $25.

I received my SCSI card today and it works beautifully.... I like it how they give you direct access to the scanner from your "My Computer" .. so i dont' have to use the HP software at all.. that's awesome..and quick too..Again .. thanks guys
