Is this the ISA scsi card that came with the scanner? If so, there is no drivers in Win98 for this card like there was in Win95, but you can download the drivers from the Symbios site. The file is hpisadrv.zip and it says it
is for Win95 and WinNT 4.0. I have used them in Win98 on 2 different models of HP scanners and they work fine. Here is the link. Good luck. http://www.symbios.com/techsupp/support+drivers/hpdrivers.html?agree=Agree

Gene,
You just saved me some $$$ !already
My configuration is exactly the same (4c, Win98, 53C400A) and I had
given up because oftomorrow
the notice on the HP web site and was planning to go to the PC shop
and buy a new PCI SCSI card...
After I had seen your note, I had to try immediatley - and it works !!!
Best regards,
Andreas

Here is how I got the ScanJet 4c & its SCSI card ( C2502-66500 )
to run under Windows 98.
******1. Remove ALL prior Scandisk drivers, etc.
(paste)
:
: Removing DeskScan II from your computer
: You can run UNINSTAL.EXE to remove DeskScan II from your system.
NOTE: Be sure DeskScan II is in the same directory where you installed it. If you have moved DeskScan to a different directory or drive, UNINSTAL.EXE will not work properly. To manually uninstall the DeskScan II application from your computer follow the steps below.
: NOTE: If you have other HP ScanJet software installed on your system, you should skip the ScanJet Drivers section and go to the DeskScan section.
: ScanJet Drivers:
: a) Delete the following files in your WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory if
they exist:
: HPSCNMGR.DLL
: HPSCNTST.DLL
: HPSJ32.DLL
: HPSJ16.DLL
:
: 2) Windows 95/Windows 98 only:
: Delete SCANJET.INF from the WINDOWS\INF directory
: Delete the following files in your WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory if they exist:
: HPSJCLAS.DLL
: VHPSCAND.VXD
: HPSJ1695.DLL
: REG32.DLL
: HPSJRFSH.VXD
: DeskScan II:
: 1. Delete the following files from your WINDOWS directory:
: HPDS23.INI
: 2. Delete the following file from your WINDOWS\TWAIN_32 directory:
: HPDS23.DS
: 3. Delete all of the files in the directory where DeskScan II was installed.
: 4. Remove the directory where DeskScan II was installed.
: 5. From the Windows Program Manager, delete the Program Manager Group where DeskScan II was installed. The DeskScan II icons will be removed automatically.
: DeskScan II has been successfully removed from your computer.
********* 2 - Download DeskScan II v2.8 here:
http://www.driverguide.com/boards/hewlett-packard/450.html
See: Deskscan II v 2.8 for Win98 ScanJet 3c etc
CAUTION: "ONLY" get the file: sj168en.exe , 3,643,042 bytes long!!!
Place the 3 extracted files in a folder like ... C:\ScanDiskV28\
for safe keeping...
********* 3 - Install the driver in Win 98:
Control Panel
Add New Hardware
Select your own driver
"Other Devices"
Select the "Hewlett-Packard" with the "Symbios Logic 53C400A"
(Point to the DISK1 - that was extracted from sj168en.exe above )
Now here is the "TRICK" that most folks forget:
The sorry little SCSI card is an "8 bit" card - which
means that you need to us an IRQ that is 7 - or less!
I was not using my COM1 - so I stole IRQ 4 from it
& WALLA - everything worked just fine. Win 98 had
been assigning IRQ 9 to the card - that is why I was
having so much trouble. Once I remembered that an
8 bit card "can never" see more than 0-7 , it was easy
to figure out.
Once the driver has been installed, just go to its
properties & "MANUALLY" chance the IRQ
to a FREE IRQ that is 7 or less. (Double click
on the existing IRQ & you will get a window
that will allow you to choose a new & different
IRQ number.)
********** 4 - "re-boot" & run the setup.exe in your C:\ScanDiskV28\DISK1\setup.exe
This will install the HP DeskScan II application
software.
********* 5. There is a test program - it SHOULD
show a tiny hot air balloon when all is working OK.
Misc. NOTES:
I set the jumper on the card to the 2 pins nearest
the BACK side of the card. I have NO idea what this
3 pin jumper block does - my best guess is that it
controls "wait states" ... but ?
I set the SCSI termination on the back of the 4c
to the "+" mark - as this is the ONLY SCSI device
I have - I hope that I chose "TERMINATED" -
but not sure... I have zero manuals ... ;-)
I REMOVED the Fix_PNP.EXE line from my autoexec.bat -
it did not seem to matter .. ?
I did the above in a hurry, so I may have left out something.
I have not played with it very much - but all seems to work OK.
We'll see...
Good luck.
