I recently purchased a used 416xt camera. I am running Windows 2000 and I am using an Adaptec 1460C PCMCIA card. The camera box says "SCSI Connected" when the laptop (HP Omnibook 6000) boots up. However, I can't get PictorView or MaxIm DL to talk to the camera. I have installed the latest Adaptec ASPI files. I have also tried to setup the camera the in the software setup but it doesn't seem to work. There are no apparent errors when the camera first starts up after plugging it in and before booting the laptop. Any suggestions? Thanks.

All that "SCSI Connected" means is that communications between the SCSI device and the Adaptec controller can be established. Depending on how close the Meade device driver writer followed the SCSI standards, it may just mean that the controller-device connection has a terminator installed. Further it doesn't say anything about the PC end of controller. When you look in your devices control panel does it say that it found the Adaptec controller and that it is functioning correctly? First step I would try is to make sure the PC-PCMCIA link is functioning and that it found the SCSI controller. Normally I would suggest running scsiinfo toprobe the SCSI chain to see if there is an end to end connection, but it isn't available for windows
