When running the installation software for my ScanJet 6200C on a new
computer with USB ports, the software did not find the USB and terminated
installation.

I tried to get info from www.hp.com/info/6200c but the sign in process ended
when they claimed not to find a ScanJet 6200C.

I doubt this new computer has room for the SCSI board, and I would have to
cut the warranty tape to get inside, anyway.

Any ideas?

Thanks very much.

If your ScanJet 6200c was attached to an ISA bus adapter on your old computer,
pitch the ISA adapter. It wasn't worth much to begin with.

If the new computer has an available PCI slot, install most any Adaptec
2900-series SCSI host adapter with either a 25-pin or 50-pin external connector,
not the wide SCSI 68-pin external one. Disregard the warranty tape. Your
warranty should not be voided by any properly installed hardware upgrades,
whereas upgrading your toaster or microwave would surely void the warranty.

The following link at the HP web site contains info about ScanJet software and
XP:

Thanks, Ben. I installed my old PCI SCSI board into the new computer and
all works fine.
