Doesn't Support Scan Dual III - Version: 6.0.2d32b, 6/6/2003 05:14PM PST

After contacting Lasersoft, they have notified me that they will not be supporting the Scan Dual III software. This is not exactly Lasersoft's fault, as it is Minolta that is not sharing crucial information to allow Lasersoft to develop a driver. I have contacted Minolta, but have yet to get a reply. I suggest that anyone who owns a Scan Dual III contact Minolta also.
SilverFast supports the whole range of Minolta film scanner:
Dimage Scan Elite
Dimage Scan Elite II
Dimage Scan Elite 5400
Dimage SCan Elite 5400 II
Dimage Scan Multi
Dimage Scan Multi Pro
Dimage SCan Dual III
Dimage Scan Dual iV
