    I have a old, but functional flatbed scanner. The IBM Idea Scan (275-011) uses a parallel port. After seraching the net for a driver, I realized I had the original CD. So i poppe dit in, fussed with it to start installing and it finished. The I tried importing through it's "control panel ". Every time I started it I would get a "[program] has encountered a problem and needs to close." error. I quickly set it to run it in 98-emulation mode then it ran. When I tried importing, I got this error

    So I have the 9x driver on my Windows XP Home machine. Does anyone have a copy of the NT 4.0/ 2000 driver I could try?

    You have to register, and after I registered and confirmed my e-mail, it says that I didn't register and refuses to let me download.
