I cannot succeed in getting my Canoscan 2700F running under Windows XP.
Scancraft keeps telling me: "No scanners detected. Please check if your
SCSI devices are connected properly". XP recognizes the scanner, but
Scancraft doesn't. I updated every possible driver. Under Win98 on the
same system, there is no problem. Who can help me?
 
Did you download and install the ASPI layer from Adapatec?
Sorry due to spam not a real e-mail address. Please reply to group.
 
Did you check that the aspi actually installed correctly?
aspichk.exe is used to check the aspi installation.

On Windows XP 32 bit, I found an error in the Install.bat file.
Where is says "%WinDir%", it should say "%SystemRoot%" without the quotes.

Below is a corrected section for XP32. Replace that section in Install.bat.
REM =====================================
REM For 32 bit Windows XP for X86 Systems

I also can not get my CanoScan 2700F to run under Windows XP
Pro.
I have an Adaptec 15xx SCSI Controller card which runs both my 2700F
scanner and my Yamaha CD Writer. This controller card is in an ISA
slot. The CD writer uses the internal connection on the Adaptec
controller while the 2700F uses the metal 'D' type plug on the outside
of the card.

Previously I was using Windows ME and both devices worked just fine.

If I run the CanoCraft Configuration Utility I do not get any SCSI
devices listed.

Regards Chris.

Guys,
I have just cured/answered my own and your problem.
Basically a new ASPI layer driver is required. Just go to...

http://www.adaptec.com/worldwide/su...cat=/Product/ASPI-4.70&filekey=aspi_471a2.exe

......and download ASPI_471a2 This is a ZIp file. Place it in
a Folder of its own. When you run the ZIP it will create two more
folders of its own. You will then need to run aspinst. After that
run the CanoCraft Configuration program and that should now show the
2700F scanner with its SCSI address.

Good luck, Chris.

The real problem was that I used a USBXChange adapter from Adaptec.
Adaptec's Techsupport answered to my problem:

"the problem is that Windows XP or 2000 talk differently with USB devices
- that is why the ASPI based software is having problem to access it. We
cannot emulate USB devices as SCSI devices as with Win98"

This is Information which is not mentioned on their site, so now I'm stuck
with a new USBXChange I cannot use.

But thanks to your information I got the Scanner running now with an old
SCSI-card, thanks for your support.
