RE: Epson 1680 SCSI Problem

[Victor Landweber <victor@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tom --

A-OK except you shouldn't have to highlight "Imaging Devices" or the SCSI 
card. When the Device Manager window is active, you can hit "refresh" and 
Windows will perform an update of all plug-and-play devices. FYI, in 
Windows 2000 (and I presume in XP too), you can right-click in Device 
Manager and select "Scan for hardware changes" to have the computer refresh 
all drives and SCSI devices.

If you want, you can put a direct link to the Device Manager on your start 
menu or desktop so you don't have to open Control Panel and select 
"System." Put the following in a shortcut:

In Windows 95/98
c:\windows\system32\control.exe sysdm.cpl,system,2

In Windows 2000/XP
%windir%\system32\mmc.exe c:\winnt\system32\devmgmt.msc

Hope this is useful.
