Microsoft Fingerprint reader

Hi all, I have the Microsoft fingerprint reader, about a 20 dollar buy. I use it in vista and it works great! however, i wish to use it in mac os x. Don't try to tell me it won't work and that be it, if ur gonna tell me that, explain. I installed the upek software and it works but it won't find the fingerprint reader. i think its because it isn't supported. but the digitalpersona software on vista picks it up, and digitalpersona readers are supported by the upek software. can anybody help me get this working? thnx in advance :D

What brand is the fingerprint reader? And I don't mean Microsoft, I mean the chip itself. In OS X, go to System Profiler > USB and find it. UPEK only works with Thomson Microelectronics ones (I think).
