Using old hardware with new system Cottonmouth <noway[ at ]nohow.com> 12/30/2008 6:53:54 PM Does anyone know if it's possible to use an old 16 bit scanner with XP? This scanner had it's own serial card but I'm wondering if I could get a DB25 serial plug to USB adapter and still use the scanner. It works fine and I hate to just throw it away. Sorry if this is the wrong newsgroup for this question, but I had to start somewhere.

If not there's your answer. -- ---- Crosspost, do not multipost http://www.blakjak.demon.co.uk/mul_crss.htm How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 Help Us Help You http://dts-l.net/goodpost.htm "Cottonmouth" <noway[ at ]nohow.com> wrote in message news:Xns9B8484343A26Bmyemailemalecom[ at ]216.77.188.18...
