I may be talking through my hat but my understanding is that ASPI is a 
translation layer between a SCSI compatible device and the SCSI card 
device driver.  I think it provides a common interface to SCSI cards 
whose native interface may not be so common... or something like that.

Anyhow, I think the scanner driver (MiraFoto) for the ScanWit talks ASPI 
so, with no Vista version of ASPI, MiraFoto is not likely to work.  But, 
as you say, VueScan will and will do it better.

I didn't understand any of that "set the driver for XP compatibility" 
stuff.  I haven't a clue how one would do that.
