I too was wandering what is this "Linear scan" is. 
Its good idea to scan with minolta s/w and process with vuescan. 
I get the control and also I will get to know whether Vuscan's post-scan 
processing is causing bands.
I will try.

Thanks
Ramesh

Have you tried doing a 16 bit raw (linear) scan to file from the Minolta 
software with
autoexposure turned off and then processing the file in Vuescan?  This isn't 
much slower
(although it is best not to have both open at the same time as this can cause 
the scanner
to hang!) and would give the degree of control you are after.
