I bought the plustek 7200 film scanner w/ Silverfast 6.5 SE when on Win 7. But now I run Win 8.1 (which of course is un-supported by the manufacturer). As a possible workaround option I am wondering whether either of the two download options the website gives me will be of use. The SilverFast download options for my config are either:
1] Stand Alone / PS
or
2] The Twain version
Will either of these be of use for me on Win 8.1? (And what scanner hardware driver (generic or otherwise) would work and where would I download that from?)
Thanks!

Dear customer,
Unfortunately we can not support this device because SilverFast too requires working drivers.
Kind regards,
Arne Ketelhohn.

Re: Download Options c/o Plustek 7200/SilverFast 6.5
Then in that case should I:
a] Abandon / Destroy the Plustek scanner hardware and just invest into a new scanner + software
b] Keep the hardware because drivers etc. will become available for it (in the future) to work with my hardware
c] Invest into the latest version of SilverFast for other scanners I may already have (or could purchase)
Thank you again for your time in this regard,

Dear customer,
waiting for drivers, probably is not a good idea.
Unfortunately getting a new scanner or an old operating system are the only possible solutions at the moment.
