Heideberg Nexscan F4200 workstation crash

[Freer]

Hi, after a period of inactivity on the large format front I wanted to pick up thinks.
Years ago I bought (for almost nothing ) a old Heidelberg Nexscan F4200 including the original Windows NT workstation. I tested the set and worked great!
But now, after years of storage, i was trying to start it up and.... the harddrive is dead. I've tried everything but it's really gone...

I really want to bring it back to live. Hardware is no problem (Mac or Windows, old or new). But what are my options for the software? Online I only see the Silvervast package and it's just too expensive for a hobby project (2000 euro) I can't find anything on the original Newcolor software. Are there alternatives? Can I still buy it from Heidelberg?

Hope someone can give me the advise I need. Thanks in advance!

You might also try Micheal Streeter I think he used to sell these when he was at Genesis. This is an old email address. Maybe it still works-

Karl Hudson sells and services Heidelberg scanners. He might have a solution.
