Minolta Dimage Multi Scan

[terryleaman]

Hi, I've just bought a Minolta Dimage multi scan film scanner, (used) it came with an adaptec SCSI board which I duly plugged in to an empty PCI slot. When I restated my PC I got a double message at the end of the First page - the first one said "No SCSI boot device found" and the second said "SCSI BIOS not installed". It continued to load Windows 2000. when I checked in the device manager it was showing the card and said the drivers were loaded and the device was working. So fine I shut down and then connected the scanner and switched it on, I then restarted the PC and loaded the operating software for the scanner. Checked in device manager and it said that the drivers were not installed and showed an error code of #2883. Minolta's web site said to uninstall shut down and restart which I did but it made no difference. The scanner works after a fashion, but is not right. Anyone got any ideas please. The Idea of flashing the BIOS scares the life out of me, is there a way around it or not.
My Bios is AMIBIOS Release 6/26/2002S and my mobo is a K7S5A. CPU is a AMD 200XP

You should have an option at the very begin of the boot process to get into the scsi bios. Might be able to play around with the settings in there. You really need the manual for the scsi controller.

"No SCSI boot device found" and "SCSI BIOS not installed" is normal when you have a SCSI adapter that supports bootable devices (hard drives, optical drives) and none are found connected to it. You don't have to do anything to your system bios if the adapter is seen in Windows. Your issue could be improper termination, duplicate SCSI ID, defective cable, or just a bad or not installed scanner driver.

Have you tried to update the scanner driver, and point it to the CD or the unpacked downloaded Minolta software package?

Many thanks for your help- the statements on boot up had me foxed. Now realise they don't really mean anything. After a struggle I have found W2K drivers and loaded them- all works fine now- even if the device manager doesn't recognise the scanner with the new drivers.
