Canon CanoScan D2400UF

Canon CanoScan D2400UF

I have an ancient scanner, a Canon CanoScan D2400UF. I bought it to allow me to scan 35mm slides. I think I had Windows 95 the last time I tried to use it. Being old, I thought I'd try it in Linux first. It's not even mentioned on http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html#SCANNERS. So, no luck there.
However, the Canon website has drivers for it, for 

  • Windows Vista (32-bit)
  • Windows XP (32-bit)
  • Windows Me (32-bit)
  • Windows 2000 (32-bit)
now where can I get a 32-bit Windows/XP from?  Because I'm not going near the others. 
 
The options are:
  • Acquire and build a Windows/XP (virtual) machine
  • Purchase a 35mm slide scanner that will work on modern systems.
