I recently acquired a Microtek 330UX scanner , but can get it to install in XP.
I haven't got a mnaual, but have got a driver.
Originally it looked like a parallel port connector, but havng looked again and looked in the device manager, it seems to be a 25pin SCSI (device manger asking for SCSI drivers), rather than 25pin parallel.
I was under the assumption that 25pin SCSI was an Apple design, so does anyone have any ideas as to whether I coudl get this running under XP ?
Any ideas on converters etc ?, or even better anyone know much about the Microtek 330 CX scanner ?

I no longer work in Council Tax Recovery but instead work as a specialist Council Tax paralegal assisting landlords and Council Tax payers with council tax disputes and valuation tribunals. My views are my own reading of the law and you should always check with the local authority in question.

Are you sure that model name is right?
I pasted it into google and got 0 results and it doesn't seem to exist on the Microtek site either.0 -
Your right I did, Phantom 330 CX :rolleyes: .
I had a look in the scanner setup utility and it only gives the option of SCSI , so it seems that it is indeed a 25pin SCSI.
So, can I use an adapter at all ?I no longer work in Council Tax Recovery but instead work as a specialist Council Tax paralegal assisting landlords and Council Tax payers with council tax disputes and valuation tribunals.

Also, does anyone know, structually is the 25pin SCSI device different from the 25pin Parallel cable ?I no longer work in Council Tax Recovery but instead work as a specialist Council Tax paralegal assisting landlords and Council Tax payers with council tax disputes and valuation tribunals.

25 pin SCSI and 25 pin parallel are totally different. You'll need a SCSI card and a cable. If you've got neither it would probably be easier and cheaper to go out and buy a USB scanner0
