Vuescan on Windows 7/8 64 bit: Driver for SCSI scanners with Adaptec AHA-2940 etc. controllers

Owners of SCSI scanners often face problems after having migrated their systems to Windows 7 64 bit or Windows 8 64 bit. While Vuescan does support most SCSI scanners on these operating systems a suitable driver to keep using the required SCSI host adapter is often missing.

Neither Microsoft nor Adaptec officially offer such a driver for download. Only more modern Ultra160 SCSI controllers received official drivers for 64 bit Windows. Cables to adapt scanners to such controllers tend to be expensive and even after successfully connecting a scanner it often would not work properly in our tests.

Our modified driver supports Adaptec’s SCSI controller series AHA-29xx, AHA-39xx and AVA-29xx

It would be appreciated if you would report to us if you were able to use this driver with another controller from our list. Also please let us know should we have missed to include one that uses an AIC-78xx chip as well.

Creating a driver for Adaptec’s AHA-2940 SCSI host adapter et al. on Windows 7 64 bit & Windows 8 64 bit

Our base for the SCSI host adapter’s driver is the emulated driver for these controllers that shipped with Windows Vista 64. That emulated driver is sufficient to run a scanner because doing such does not require an ASPI layer. Apart from this page’s instructions you will require a *.sys file which can be obtained from any Windows Vista 64 bit DVD. That could be a recovery disk for Windows Vista Home 64 bit for example. On the disk you will find an archive file named install.wim from which we will have to extract two files.

In case you have misplaced your Windows Vista disk and require a trustworthy source to obtain this file on-line it can be noted that Microsoft used to sell Windows Vista through its partner store Digital River and that the according install files still reside on Digital River’s servers. We found working download links from the official Microsoft partner’s servers listed on a web page named HeiDoc.net.

After having located the install.wim file please download and install the universal archiving software 7-Zip. It allows you to open the install.wim file in which you’ll find a folder structure. The two files djsvs.sys and djsvs.inf which we require are located in the folder: 1\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\djsvs.inf_6451fbc2\ Please create an empty folder anywhere you like on your systems and extract the two required files there. Note that the source must be a Windows Vista 64 bit disk (the djsvs.sys file is 87KB in size). The smaller djsvs.sys file included with Windows Vista’s 32 bit versions is not suitable.

We will now modify the driver so that the supported SCSI controller cards will be recognized on Windows 7 and Windows 8. Please open the file «djsvs.inf» in a text editor of your choice and replace its contents. In order to do so click into the text box below this paragraph, press Ctrl+A and the Ctrl+C to copy the text. After having done this switch to your text editor and inside of it press Ctrl+A followed by Ctrl+V to paste the copied text while replacing the old contents of the file.

Save the file, go to Windows’ Control Panel and choose System > Device Manager. When using Windows 8 please follow the instructions at the bottom of this page (which will also let you end up in the Device Manager) before you go on with the instructions below the screen shot.
