Recently purchased a laptop with Windows 8, Discovered there is an issue with older usb-1 cables that came with the 996XT. Will there be newer replacement usb-1 cables available?

You should be sure that the cable uses the HXD chipset. The original cables use the HXA chipset which doesn't play well with Windows 8.
When I migrated to Windows 8, I ended up getting a Plugable USB to RS232 cable from Amazon and using the original cable that came with my scanner (with the RS 232 end). Amazon.com: Plugable USB to RS-232 DB9 Serial Adapter (Prolific PL2303HX Rev D Chipset): Computers & Accessories
Plus at $14.95, it is less costly than a new USB-1 cable ($29.99).
