A few months ago I upgraded my girlfriends pc to Windows 7 x64. Sadly it was impossible to find a driver for her 99,- EUR scanner (Belkin somewhat USB). So it didn´t worked anymore. Since then she bugged me with that situation and last weekend I promised her to find a solution.

Luckily I had an old Epson GT-7000 SCSI scanner fooling around and an Adaptec AHA 2940 AU SCSI Controller. I used both in my old Windows XP set up years ago. And I thought that the Epson scanner is too precious to simply threw it away. (And by the way: the Adaptec card is from 1997 and the scanner might be 1 or 2 years older). I still remember that I got it from my uncle and that it was so incredibly fast even compared to modern USB scanners.

So why not use this for my girlfriend? ButI knew that my solution may have some flaws.

Firstly finding Windows 7 compatible x64 drivers for the Adaptec and secondly finding Windows 7 compatible x64 TWAIN drivers. Since might have a bit of a brilliant design it is commonly known as the most shitty peace of protocol / API in computers history. Especially the last point didn´t equipped me with a lot of hope. Today was the day to check it out. I was happy that my quite modern pc at least still features an PCI bus. So I fitted the Adaptec SCSI controller in it, connected the scanner through an pretty old school SCSI connection cable (after all that modern it didn´t require a (and no, this has nothing to do with Arnold Schwarzenegger)) and turned my pc on full of expectation. Well the surprise wasn´t too big that neither Windows itself nor Windows Update found a driver for at least one of the 2 devices.

But good Google and a guy called “Linky”(Thx!!!!) solved my first problem with a customized Windows 7 x64 compatible driver for the Adaptec controller (it reminded me very much of my ). I was skeptical towards this approach but I suddenly changed my mind after watching 2 minutes of fine Windows driver installation.

And there it was. The device manager showed a successfully installed SCSI controller AND it had also recognized my Epson GT 7000 scanner. But no driver for this baby. Well no surprise. (By the way for all you nerds out there: the driver is actually an emulation of the Adaptec AIC 7870 SCSI controller. But it works. Who cares?) But somehow I knew that I wouldn´t find a working driver for the scanner at all.

And I was right. Shitty TWAIN shit. I ended up with a tool called.

I was already familiar with it, cause I tried to get my girlfriends old scanner working with this tool (it failed). But I gave it one more try and HOLY SHIT IT WORKED!!! I was astonished! Wow And it´s so easy.

After the successful installation of the customized Adaptec driver I downloaded the software and installed it, choosing “yes” when it asked me if I have an old scanner with not working drivers attached (well exactly my case). And again after watching 2 minutes of fine Windows driver installation it worked. There is one little drawback. The software is really not cheap. For the standard edition you have to invest around 30,- EUR and for the professional you have to invest around 60,- EUR. But on the other hand the author must be the master of TWAIN so it´s just fair to help him out a bit. To help all you guys out on this, I have uploaded the customized Adaptec driver and attached some screens to make you believe!

Hey there, I was pretty happy to find a so detailed and professional help for this issue – thank you all! BUT it still doesn’t help me.

I have AHA-2940AU in my machine and a HP ScanJet 5p connected to it. I can add the card with the emulated INF file, but it still has the exclamation mark on it and drops me “error code 10”.
