But first, I have to find new drivers for my old Benq5000 scanner.
The manufacturer's site lists no drivers for Win7 64-bit and the
driver on CD does not work either, even using the compatibility
assistant for drivers, so I may have to do this using the old PC :-(
You may be able to load drivers and run your scanner in a virtual machine. I did that successfully with a device attached to USB, for which there was no 64bit driver, in a VirtualBox machine sporting W2k.

That's interesting. I tried the same trick with VMware for my scanner, but it wouldn't work and I was told that VMware relies on the host machine for peripheral drivers and other services.
