That says that what you get seems to be normal, and that upgrading to a newer aspi should fix things. The latest ASPI drivers are on this page - you probably want the latest version, but there are 3 on there just in case: http://www.adaptec.com/worldwide/support/driversbycat.jsp?sess=no&language=English+US&cat=%2FOperating+System%2FMicrosoft+Windows+XP#SCSI%20Software and from this site: http://www.scantips.com/scsitip.html#aspi "Windows 9x always included ASPI, required by SCSI scanner drivers to communicate with the SCSI board. We never gave ASPI a seconds thought, we automatically always had it with Win9x. However, Windows 2000 and XP do NOT include ASPI, so it will be necessary that you must add it for a SCSI scanner."
