Minolta RAW import freezes on Intel iMac

My old G4 imported MRW (Minolta RAW) files from a CF card without problems. I recently upgraded to a 20 inch Intel iMac and the import stops during import. Not only that but I can't get the "stop copying" button to respond. The CF card will happily send Jpegs to the iMac without problems. I have two CF cards which I always format after uploads and I'm using the same Minolta Dimage Viewer software as before, The only change seems to be the Mac I'm importing to. Anyone any suggestions before Mac defenestration occurs?
 
By plugging the camera's USB lead into a different input socket (Not on the keyboard) the raw files are now importing smoothly. Wish I'd thought of that a few weeks ago.
