JohnS 0 Posted August 30, 1999 BSOD = Blue screen of death I've got a HP Scanjet 5p that came bundled with a symbios 53416 ISA SCSI card. Unfortunately I get the BSOD on boot up of w2k with the SCSI card plugged in. I don't suppose anyone has got these two working, or could maybe recommend a cheap SCSI card as an alternative?

YuppieScum 0 Posted August 30, 1999 Top tip: Don't get a cheap SCSI card... Invest in an Adaptec...maybe it'll cost you 100 bucks or so, but it'll work with everything, forever... Share this post Link to post
SHS 0 Posted August 30, 1999 LOL!! how ture that is even I made few bad choose in my day's, I never buy another symbios chipset. Symbios chipset has more in compatibility problem then any other SCSI card out there. Share this post Link to post
YuppieScum 0 Posted August 31, 1999 Too right. First SCSI card I bought was a 2940 PCI UW, and then I decided to get a Supermicro P6DBS with on-board dual UW-SCSI All the above have worked with EVERYTHING - Win95, Win98, NT3.x, NT4.x, W2K, Linux ( RH5.2 & 6.0), BeOS 4.5 - all out-of-the-box. Adaptec - Just Do It! Share this post Link to post
