: Let's try to put this subject to rest...

: I also have a UMAX 1220S scanner and bought a SCSI CD-RW drive hoping to use the card that
: came with the scanner.. Here's the scoop:

: Based on what is contained in this entire message board, it is not likely that the drivers are
: available. I looked for hours on the net and found lots of leads, but all were dead ends.

: The card is actually a DTC436E SCSI card. It is most likely made by DTC of Taiwan, NOT DATA TECHNOLOGIES
: (www.datatechnology.com). Their own web site disavows any knowledge of this card.

: The SCSI card is a proprietary card. The drivers are embedded in the scanner software that comes
: with the scanner. If you look at the card you'll see jumper #1 (J1) sets the card to NOT be PNP.
: This is why Windows can't find it. Remove the jumper, and windows will find the card, but alas...
: no drivers!

: Several of the scanner companies have been shipping SCSI cards with their Scanners since 1994.
: They all are similar to the UDS-IS11, DTC-3181e, DTC436e, etc. The cards are intended to
: work only with their scanners. They are not useful with other SCSI peripherals.

: If anybody out there can prove me wrong wrong about the drivers for these cards, I'm sure the people
: who need them will greatly appreciate it.

: I bit the bullet and spent $40 on a PCI SCSI card at Best buy. Problem solved.
: Hope this helps stop the insanity.

: Dan
