I have an Edgeport/416 hooked up to my Solaris 10 (x86) system. The device is recognized by the system (i.e. the ports appear under the /devices directory and the symbolic links are created under the /dev/term directory), but I am unable to transmit or receive data on it. Any help would be great. Thanks.

There are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue of your Watts film/slide scanner not communicating with your Windows 10 computer:

Check the USB connection: Ensure that the USB cable is properly connected to both the scanner and the computer. Try connecting the scanner to a different USB port on your computer to see if it is recognized.

Install the scanner driver: Make sure that you have installed the correct driver software for your scanner. Visit the manufacturer's website and download the latest driver for your scanner model and operating system. Then, install the driver software on your computer.

Restart your computer: Sometimes, simply restarting your computer can resolve issues with USB devices not being recognized.

Check device manager: Open the device manager on your computer and look for any yellow exclamation marks or warning symbols. This could indicate an issue with the scanner driver or a conflict with other USB devices.

Update Windows: Make sure that your Windows 10 operating system is up-to-date. Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and check for any available updates.

Try a different computer: If none of the above steps work, try connecting the scanner to a different computer to see if it is recognized. If it works on another computer, there may be an issue with your Windows 10 system or USB port.

If none of the above steps resolve the issue, you may need to contact the manufacturer's technical support for further assistance.

go to the following link and you may find the driver you are looking for: http://ez93.com/device/USB/InsideOut/Edgeport22i/

or you can google it, just type: driver Edgeport/2+2i and it will be the 5th website from the top down.

A USB hard drive is a portable external storage device that works just like a conventional hard drive.

The device is simply plugged into a USB port on your computer as you would connect a flash drive.

Unlike a flash drive, however, a USB hard drive can store a much larger amount of data.

If your computer will not recognize your USB hard drive, you can try troubleshooting steps to resolve the problem.

Plug one end of the USB cable into the port on your hard drive and plug the other end into the USB port of your computer. Ensure that both ends of the cable are connected securely.

Open "My Computer" (Windows XP) or "Computer" (Windows Vista/7).

The USB device should be listed as "removable disk" once it is plugged into the computer.

If it is not listed among the available drives on your computer, proceed to the next step.

Ensure that the data cable is working properly.

Try another USB cable if you have one available.

Disconnect all other USB devices from the computer as they may interfere with the operating system detecting the external hard drive.

Reboot the computer if the USB hard drive is still not recognized.

Plug the USB cable into another USB port and check to see if the device is detected.

If you are using a USB hub, remove the device and plug the external hard drive directly into a USB port.

If the computer still fails to recognize the device, the external hard drive itself may be experiencing a hardware problem.

Check the status of the hard drive in the "Device Manager" window. Under Windows XP, right click "My Computer" and select "Device Manager."

For Windows Vista and Windows 7, click the "Windows" button in the lower left corner of the screen, then type "Computer Management" in the search bar and press "Enter."

Select "Device Manager" in the "Computer Management" window. In the Device Manager window, click the "+" sign that appears beside "Disk Drives."

If the external drive is not listed, click "Other Devices" in the Device Manager window and see if an "Unknown Device" appears.

The external hard drive may have been detected but the device is not working properly.

If it is still under warranty, take the device to the computer store where it was purchased to have it repaired or replaced.

Hope this helps
