Scan Elite 5400 not supported?

I have a Dimage Scan Elite 5400II, and when I start the program I get a dialog box saying all my scanning software isn't installed. Worked fine on my PowerBook G4.

What software will work with my MBP and Scan Elite and give me a RAW file?

PowerBook G4, Mac OS X (10.4.6)

You may want to check Dimage's webpage to see if they've put out updated drivers for Intel Macs.

You can try to download the software from the following site:

http://ca.konicaminolta.com/support/americas/scanners/dimage-scanners/dimage-sca nelite54002/software_drivers/drivers/ver102mac.html

However, if this software does not resolve your issue you are probably out of luck seeing as this product has been discontinued. Which means it is unlikely they will update the software/drivers for this product.

I believe that 3rd party software, such as Vuescan and Softimage will work with the Dimage. If that is the case I think there may be a 3rd party driver that I don't know about.

I am having problems using any scanning software to scan film negatives on my new Mac book pro. Does anyone know how to remedy this problem? I am using a Canon 9950F scanner, which my Mac recognizes. I installed VueScan software which works but for some reason does not allow me to choose the "media source" as "color/B &W negative" .

I downloaded Vuescan 8.3.66 and can now communicate with my MBP. I tried a Vuescan version awhile ago and it did work properly, now it seems to.
