Since this product is based upon a Server Edition I was sure that there
would be rich SCSI support. I have an Adaptec 2940AU SCSI adapter which is a
very common SCSI adapter whose chipset is used in other models as well,
however I can find no XP 64 driver support for that product. The adapter is
used to connect an HP SCSI flat-bed scanner which does have a WIA driver, but
without SCSI adapter support, the whole mess is useless.

Does any one have any ideas???

Thank you!

For driver issues you should contact the card or chipset manufacturer for
their statement of support for their products under the x64 64-bit version
of Windows.

As a point of note - Windows Server 2003 is not listed as a supported
operating system for this very old product.

A newer card, I'm afraid. That is a very old card, and hasn't been on the
list of supported adapters since at least the shipping of Windows Server 2k3.
OTOH, Adaptec has often provided updated drivers even for older cards, so
it's worth checking with them.

No drivers newer than Win2K for this one. That's a sign it's probably not
going to see XP x64 support (but I don't work for Adaptec, so that's
certainly not authoratative) It IS a pretty old card...

2940AU is unsupported.
But like somes other 2940, it's based on 78XX chip.


Here is anything, unsupported, which you can try :
You can try "force" the device manager and select
"Adaptec AHA-2940U/2940UW/2940D PCI SCSI Controller"

you can also try edit WINDOWS\inf\pnpscsi.inf (with notepad.exe, and after
backup original file)

under the line
%PCI\VEN_9004&DEV_8178.DeviceDesc% = aic78xx_Inst, PCI\VEN_9004&DEV_8178
add the line :
%PCI\VEN_9004&DEV_6178.DeviceDesc% = aic78xx_Inst, PCI\VEN_9004&DEV_6178


and under the line
PCI\VEN_9004&DEV_8178.DeviceDesc = "Adaptec AHA-2940U/2940UW/2940D PCI SCSI
Controller"
add the two lines::
PCI\VEN_9004&DEV_6178.DeviceDesc = "Adaptec AHA-2940AU PCI SCSI Controller"

Of course, this is without official support.
