Generally the drivers you want are prepared/written by the company that manufacturers the card. They are included in Windows if there is enough demand or need. I recall reading then there is a cut off for hardware that is more then two years old. So unless your Firewire card was manufactured in 2000 or 2001, you may be out of luck. In any case, your best be would be the card manufacturer. I would check their web site. Finally, more then a few hardware items don't run on the card versions of Firewire. I don't know whether the Minolta Scanners have that limitation or not.
