Microtech USB to SCSI-2 adapter

Cab1
I have an old SCSI Hewlett-Packard ScanJet IIcx. It's a good scanner, so I want to hang on to it and just do a SCSI to USB 2. 0 Conversion. I purchased a Microtech USB to SCSI-2 adapter and installed it in place of the SCSI cable and card.

Newbie Dell 8200 upgrade: Need help

schmd
Hey. This whole financial fiasco started when I decided to replace the aging GeForce 2 MX in my Dell Dimension 8200 1. 8GHz 1Gig RDRAM. I promptly bought a GeForce 6600GT off of ebay for a decent $160 without investigating the requirements of the video card first (how smooth was that).

Just picked up a new Roland RS-70 synth for $685 on closeout. The USB driver for it, however, does not work with XP SP2. Here is the driver: It installs, detects fine, but if you go under midi properties within the driver it says the driver is enabled but not functioning properly.
