I fired up the Epson software after trying Henk's suggestion, and while it allowed me to select Professional mode, I never got to see a 'Scan' button! So I fired up VueScan 64, Version 6497 from April 2022, and it immediately offered me the latest upgrade. Installed it, and - Lo and Behold! After working out the interface, I am cheerfully scanning some Kodachrome 64. I do find you need to thoroughly understand the way all the parameters need to be set under the VueScan interface, but it does work well under W11.
Thanks for the help!

The trick was to install the software from the CD and right click on the file escndv.exe in the epson folder under program files (x86). There you can change compatibility mode to an earlier windows version. I choose Vista at the time and the professional Epson mode has been working fine. My worries are whether this trick will also work under W11. You will have to wait forever for a new driver and software from Epson for this old model scanner.
