Q: Can I use the scanner with a SCSI card instead of USB?

A: Yes, but you need a SCSI card with 64-bit Windows 7 drivers (e.g., Adaptec 2940). Then VueScan or the VM method will work via SCSI pass-through. This is an advanced setup. UMAX Astra 5800 Scanner Driver for Windows 7

Open Device Manager: Connect your scanner and find it under "Other devices" (it will likely have a yellow exclamation mark). Install VirtualBox on your Windows 7 64-bit

Process:

1. Install VirtualBox on your Windows 7 64-bit.
2. Create a new VM with Windows XP (32-bit).
3. Install Windows XP inside the VM.
4. From the VM’s menu, go to Devices → USB → select your UMAX Astra 5800. This passes the USB device directly to the guest OS.
5. Inside the VM, install the original UMAX Astra 5800 driver (from CD or downloaded file).
6. Scan using the original VistaScan software.
