How good are Minolta Dimage Scan Duals?

Here's a DiMage IV lens test that I stumbled on a while back.

And here's the procedure to use it on Win 10/11.

It pains me to see this, really. I mean, to each their own and all that. But this is just creating a market for these scanners that will be ripped apart and only the lens used. It'll destroy perfectly good scanners. Too bad.

This should work; that's to say, it's how I've been doing it since Win7 and it has always worked for me (currently on Win11x64). The scanner then works with the actual Minolta software - which has always been perfectly adequate for my use. I generally scan negatives as positives with most corrections turned off, only autofocus on (that really makes a difference!!), and then do all inversion etc. manually in post processing. The scans are excellent that way, IMO.
