Hmm - you will probably have to try to use phone/fax/snail mail in this case.

Grmpf ... We know this board, as it comes with newer MUSTEK scanners, too.
Basically it is crap. You might want to try to get it working, but everyone
I heard of doing so finally bought a cheap SCSI-controller.

I heard newer boards of this kind have a so-called "PNR" - plug-and-run mode
which is jumper-selectable and will effectively turn off PNP-detection to
avoid Win95 autodetecting it and messing it up by use of generic drivers.

CU,ANdy

BTW: David - I do not seem to reach you with private mail ... did you get
my answer ? Maybe your EMail Address has changed (thogh I just hit reply ...) ?
