GarageBand won't find Casio WK-3800

I have my keyboard plugged in but the GarageBand piano lessons says that there is no USB keyboard connected.
There is also no response to the keyboard from the rest of GarageBand.

Any suggestions?

iMac 3.06 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo 24", Mac OS X (10.5.3), 4 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM

Have you ever used your keyboard with a Mac? Have you installed a driver at all? Casio is known so offer very limited Mac support. You might want to try this one:

Does anyone know where I can download a driver for Casio CTK810 keyboard, so that I can feed into GB?

I tried this driver download, which seems to work a treat.

That's exactly the same driver that I pointed to, only that you have to register before you can download. I wonder why people never read before they post.
