I'm kinda jumping into the middle of this thread, and I'm afraid I didn't
read the original post very closely before deleting it, so I may be way
off base, but I seem to remember it had something to do with a scanner
and a hard drive interfering with each other....

You do realize that each device has it's own address on the
controller, right? The hard drive has jumper pins to set the address,
I'm not sure how it's set on the scanner. Different devices don't
always set the jumpers the same to get the same address. There
is a bios utility for Adaptec controllers that can be used to
check addressing. My system kinda evolved, and I haven't
touched it now for years, but I have plenty of PCI ports so
I use an old Adaptec 2940 for my internal scsi cdrom (50-pin), and
an Adaptec 29160LP card (only has 68-pin connectors) for my
68-pin internal hard drives. http://tinyurl.com/2yckpo

A 19160 or full 29160 (50-pin and 68-pin) should handle both functions.
Or, consider getting a USB scanner (but I guess that brings it's own
driver support issues)
