Installing SCSI hardware
A
SCSI card (also known as a controller or host adapter) is required to
enable the VIDAR film digitizer to comm
unicate with your computer.
VIDAR digitizers have been validated with the Adaptec™ 2930CU SCSI
adapter card. Do not use other SCSI adapter cards. Ultra-wide SCSI
adapters are not compatible with VIDAR film digitizers.
A
computer equipped with a SCSI bus can communicate with multiple
SCSI devices
(for exam
ple
: a film
digitizer, a scanner and a disk drive).
Each device must have a unique SCSI ID number so the computer can
distinguish it from other SCSI devices. Valid SCSI ID numbers range
from 1 to 7, but ID 7 is reserved for the SCSI adapter. Instructions for
setting the film digitizer’s SCSI ID number are provided in the previous
chapter.
