I use this with my HP SCSI scanner [Posted on 2004-10-14]
It performs very well. Be careful with the driver installation. You have to install the Adaptec driver... otherwise the system will recognize the adapter as a storage device.
Do not use this for storage devices...

I bought this to run a Umax PowerLook scanner from an eMac. Software installed easily and I have had no problems scanning.

This device is anything but plug and play (check out the Google Groups pages). I was a bit wary installing this so I downloaded the latest driver for my unit and installed per the detailed 12+ step instructions on their web page. The end result was the "blue screen of death" forcing me to power cycle the computer just to get it to reboot (yes, I tried Crtl-Alt-Delete, but that didn't work). This began a 2 week series of try this, try that emails.
I use a brand new Dell Dimension 8400 desktop with Windows XP Professional SP2.
The end result is I that I still can't use my scanner.
A search of Google Groups indicates similar problems with Adaptec's USB2xchange.
Be warned.
