SCSI device not found in NT4

[electraboy]

Hi,

My configuration:
Compaq Deskpro EN - 255 MB Ram - 12 Gig HD - NT4.0 SP5 - 2 ADAPTEC 29160N Adapters (PCI

My problem:
While booting the PC, 2 SCSI adapters are found (the correct ones).
The attached devices are also detected (One canon GP200 on the first adapter (ID5) and a HP7450 on hte second (ID2)).
After booting WINNT, only the adapters are found in SCSI-devices (controlpanel).
There are even found 3 of them (on one is a ADAPTEC PSEUDO device detected taking no resources (no IRQ and DMA)
This happened after a reinstall of the PC.
Way before this reinstall, everything worked fine and shortly after it, everything refused to work.

A technician of OCE (of which brand the scanner with the CANON GP-200 driver is) checked out the scanner and it works fine.
A also tried another scanner on that port which worked fine too.

The OCE Back-office told me that the device is a 8-bit device, while de adapter supports 32-bit but should be compliant with all older version of SCSI
(which is proven because it has been working before)

Anyone a hint what i can try ?
Maybe some setting in the SCSI-BIOS ? It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious.

A silly question, but you didn't mention having done it...

Under the SCSI Adaptors icon in Control Panel, did you click on the Drivers tab and install the relevant drivers for both adaptors?

(Never a silly question if you try to help)

but...
Yes, I did install one driver for the two adapter (cause it are identical cards)

I installed also the drivers for the two scanners.

Half the problem is already solved. One Scanner is working fine now, by changing the SCSI-BIOS settings for the scanner.
The other may be defect or i have to use other configuration settings. But neither HP or adaptec supplies this information !!
(It's a HP 7450)
