TWAIN isn't supported by CS4 on Intel Macs. The plug-in is on the disk but isn't installed in the default install. In my case it didn't work even after I had manually put it in the appropriate folder. Apparently if you run CS4 in Rosetta mode it should work, but as that slows PS down I see no reason to cripple PS just for one old scanner.
So, CS4 on Mac = no TWAIN for you. Same deal for my LS8000, I have to use Nikon Scan 4 rather than scanning from within PS.
