Driver for Microtek Scanmaker 3600

I am looking for driver for Microtek Scanmaker 3600.

The original CD that comes with it is missing, so I went to Microtek's
ftp site - ftp://ftp.microtek.com/microtek/pcfiles/ - looking for one.

I remember that the driver for Scanmaker 3600 has the name of
drv_sw5** (stand for Scan Wizard 5) so I was elated to find
drv_sw5_v5_991_ad.exe among the files available.

However, under the same directory I also notice the "Scan Wizard Pro"
are there as well.

Question: Can the "Scan Wizard Pro" software be used for my Microtek
Scanmaker 3600 scanner?

BTW, the latest version of Scan Wizard Pro is version 7.04 ---
drv_swpro_v7_04_ad.exe

As far as the compatibility issue I would say stay with what is
recommended for your scanner and OS This is on XP http://xrl.in/1k57

Scanwizard was provided with both my Microtek flatbed scanners in the past.
Other than installing that, I've never had to install any other software for
either for operation. Both worked in XP and Millenium. Last version I
downloaded was 6.01 Pro version from the microtek website 2 years ago.

Better look here for latest Pro version and supported scanners:

Thank you and thank all for your help !!

I have downloaded the Scan Wizard 5 version 6.32, dated Oct, 05, 2007
and have installed it on my PC.

Then something really weird happened.

I hooked up everything, and "Scanner Finder" could found the scanner
without any problem, with the "Scanmaker 3600: STI, ID 0" message.

However, when I call up the "Microtek Scanner Configuration", I got
the error message:

"The scanner is not ready! Please check the scanner connection."

When I launch the SW5 software, I got the following message:

"Can't find scanners.
Use scanner probe to find a scanner."

And when I click on the "Yes" button, I got a "Scanner list", with the
ID "0" for Scanmaker 3600, Ver. 1.0

As far as the scanner goes, yes, IT IS THERE !!

I even checked it in the device manager, and yes, IT IS THERE !!

What I do not understand is this ---

How come neither of the "scanner configuration" nor the "Scan Wizard
5" able to find the scanner?

Did I do anything wrong??

Please help !!

Thank you all again for your help !!!

So 3600 is supported up to Mac OS 9 only and does no longer work with
10.4 on? SM 5600 takes v7_565 for 10.4, SM 5800 takes v7_50 for 10.3
only.

Microteks software here is most annoying.

I don't know which is the right order, but the scanner has to be plugged
in properly before/after installing the software (I'd guess after).
Otherwise it might be ignored.

Mine can't be used via an USB hub.

I have plugged and unplugged the scanner, rebooted the PC several
times, and even un-installed and re-installed the software, and still
I got the error !!!

I checked the scanner as well, no problem.

Oh well ... This is getting very very weird !!

----------

Forgot to mention both my previous MicroTek scanners were scsi connected
using scsi ID 6 with active termination. I started out early with flatbed
scanners using the old printer port connection. Scsi seems to work best
both for connection, and, actual throughput without worry of interruption.
