I needed this card to interface my HP ScanJet 6100C flatbed to my Dell 8100 - which, unlike my previous machine, had no ISA slots for the SCSI interface which HP originally supplied. I was expecting a fight, but was pleasantly surprised - installation under a Windows 2000 system was a piece of cake - the card was recognised instantly, no additional configuration required. I downloaded the latest scanner software from HP and everything worked perfectly first time.

Nice one, Adaptec. A great card which did exactly what was advertised - I recommend it unreservedly.

First off, I would never trust a SCSI card that is NOT made from Adaptec. Besides the fact of being overrated(at times), their quality and service is superb. Adaptec keeps up with the new high-technology as expected, and their product line will definately fit anyone, from a basic PC user to a quad-processor server.

I purchased this SCSI card to control a SCSI scanner that was purchased before. One internal 50-pin IDC connector, and one DB25 external connector. This SCSI card was made to connect to any device that is Fast SCSI compliant. These Fast SCSI devices have a max speed of up to 10MB/sec. Devices include, CDR/CDRW drives, Zip Drives, hard drives(non-bootable), scanners, etc.

Easy installation onto any computer, I installed this puppy into my Celeron-based PC with no problems at all. Affordable and easy to setup gives this item 5 stars.

Adaptec continues their reputation for solid design and performance.

I updated an older Adaptec ISA SCSI card (which never gave me a problem in over 5 years) with this one for a PCI slot, and everything worked perfectly. As usual with Adaptec, I didn't need to load a driver. Win XP detected the card and loaded it automatically. Great product!

I purchased this card because I upgraded my ASUS Mother Board. The new board had no ISA slot that had been used by my previous HP provided card. The Adaptec card fit easily into one of the new board's PCI slots. Windows XP Pro found the new hardware and configured my ScanJet 4P (HP scanner) for immediate use! This was the easiest upgrade I have ever done. Thanks for providing another fine card to assist with upgrading to faster platforms.

Easy installation of hardware and software. I followed the instructions, turned on the computer, attached my components and everything worked. Up and running in under 5 minutes. Have had no problems for the year I've had it. What more could you want?

Great value in buying this product on Amazon. I like Adaptec products - they are solid performers and easy to install.

By far, this is the worst product experience I have ever had. After installing in my computer, my SCSI drive could no longer be read. I contacted Adaptec customer support and they refused to help me until I could get an ID number off the card that I could not get until I booted. I pulled out the card to get the ID number and it fried my motherboard.

After getting my computer back from repair, I purchased an LSI Logic SCSI adpater. It worked perfectly and automatically reading the drive that could not be read by Adaptec.

Be warned -- Adaptec used to be great and is on the decline. It is a ghost of its former self.

Have mine connected to a emu e5000 digital sampler, 3 hard drives and a cdrw and cd rom and it works great.

In fairness to Adaptec, I gave it 5 stars. But I never received it because Amazon.com just sent me an email that they cannot obtain this item.

And this is despite it being listed as "usually" shipping within 24 hours. That's what it said when I ordered it and that's what it says as I post this.

Come on, Amazon, if you don't stock it just say so.
