Great energy to that sketch. Makes me want to put on my flame-retardant armor and grab my adventurin' gear.
There has just got to be a way to make that old scanner work. What's the latest operating system it worked on, and which are you using now?
I'm planning a post on running different OS's through VirtualBox. It might be worth a try as a way of using your old hardware.
I have no idea how I wasn't following you already but you gained a follower lol Thanks for that! I was hooking it up to a windows ten machine I think it worked on windows 7 if I remember right but I could be wrong I had an old windows xp running with it for longest time. It is a Mustek A3 usb and I still have the driver disk but loaded in windows ten it wont run it. I also tried to download drivers wit no luck.
Oh sweet - thanks for following!
It looks like there might be a driver from a third party available. They want $30 but they give you a month trial period. Probably the simplest solution.

In case that doesn't work - do you have a copy of the driver installation disk for Windows XP?
