Don, If you are happy with the scanner then I second looking into Vuescan. It works with virtually any scanner and is updated constantly. It works with the latest Windows, Mac, and Linux OS's and it doesn't cost much - f ree trial available too. Here's the link: http://www.hamrick.com/ I've used it for years with Nikon and Epson film scanners.
