I keep on getting "scanner could not be initialized.  Scanner could not be found", when I try to scan.  I took it to the store where purchased they hooked it up and it ran perfectly.  When I told them that my OS was WIN95 they promptly informed me that "everyone knows that USB doesn't work on WIN95."  Is there any truth to this statement?   Would the fastest and least expensive solution be:  load WIN98 (I have it), get a SCSI card for a SCSI connection  or  is there a way to alter my WIN95 program so that the scanner works.  (I've already searched the bios and the USB is enabled and the device manager shows USB)

A peripheral device is defined as a computer device, such as a keyboard or printer, that is not part of the essential computer (i.e., the memory and microprocessor). These auxiliary devices are intended to be connected to the computer and used in conjunction with it. Examples of external peripherals include mouse, keyboard, printer, monitor, external Zip drive or scanner, while internal peripherals include CD-ROM drive, CD-R drive or internal modem. Today's new devices, such as tablets, smartphones and wearable computing devices are considered peripherals as they can be connected and used on a computer system. The difference, however, is that these devices can run independently of the computer system.
