Hi,Love your emails!
I'm thinking od buying a computer with the Vista Ultimate 64-bit OS. I also have some old printers / scanners / cameras that work perfectly fine. BUT Vista 64-bit doesn't support them. Is there a way to get this to work? Maybe wvia an USB drive with Win XP "networked" to the Vista computer?
These are "legacy" devices, and I can't get 64-bit drivers for them. What I am intersted in is using a USB HDD with XP 32-bit OS connected to the USB by a Y-cable so theat the Vists Ultimate 64-bit as networked devices connected to a networked computer. OR you may have a beeter idea. There a a fortune awaiting someone who can make 32-bit devices work with Vista 64-bit OS.

I think that they should work in the Vista Ultimate 64-bit OS, they just will run in 32 mode and will not take advantage of the 64bits. They will run just as they ran in other versions of Windows.
