Minolta Scan Dual IV Driver Problems

[cjhacker]

I just purchased a Konica-Minolta SCAN DUAL IV, and can't get it to work. I am running it on an iMac G5 with OSX.4 Tiger. When I called Minolta they said that their latest driver for the unit doesn't support 10.4, though they claimed they would be releasing an updated driver "soon". Does anyone have a workaround for this? I tried installing a trial version of VueScan in the hopes that it would do the trick, but the software doesn't recognize the scanner at all. I'd like to avoid, if possible, re-installing an earlier version of the OS.

Any thoughts?
