Windows 9x TWAIN driver may use direct hardware access without
installing a real OS-level driver for the controller card. Some Mustek
SCSI scanners had such drivers - if the bundled SCSI card was used, they
accessed it directly.

TWAIN drivers for NT/2000/XP cannot use such dirty tricks - they must
use a real lower-level driver to get access to the hardware.
