>> Think twice
This device is anything but plug and play check out the Google Groups pages I was a bit wary installing this so I downloaded the latest driver for my unit and installed per the detailed 12 step instructions on their web page The end result was the blue screen of death forcing me to power cycle the computer just to get it to reboot yes I tried Crtl Alt Delete but that didn t work This began a 2 week series of try this try that emails
I use a brand new Dell Dimension 8400 desktop with Windows XP Professional SP2
The end result is I that I still can t use my scanner

Be warned
>> Adaptec USBXchange
I bought this to run a Umax PowerLook scanner from an eMac Software installed easily and I have had no problems scanning
>> I use this with my HP SCSI scanner
It performs very well Be careful with the driver installation You have to install the Adaptec driver otherwise the system will recognize the adapter as a storage device
Do not use this for storage devices
