Using SCSI Scanner on XP via virtualbox
Posted: 22. Apr 2009, 11:14
Total newb here so bear with me...
I have a Fujitsu M3093GX Scanner which runs via a SCSI connector - however cannot use it in Vista as there are no Vista drivers available. I have therefore downloaded VirtualBox in the hope that I could install the Scanner via a hosted XP install, and use it via XP on VirtualBox. However no idea how to add a SCSI port or indeed install the scanner - is this possible? I have dowloaded the scanner install program onto the XP on VirtualBox but do I need to add a SCSI port? If so how?
Thanks in advance and apologies for my incompetence
