If you're looking for market opportunities try the manufacturing industry. We have loads of CNC machines running very old Windows operating systems. Not only that, we also need support from the manufacturers. Often remote support from overseas.
I currently secure this by unplugging the network when they are done. Exposing a windows 98 machine to the internet is scary. When that machine is a critical production machine it's terrifying. We have 100k in spare parts to keep it running and spare hard drives with images ready to go. So we pay for reliability. Your KVM would mean we don't have to connect these to the internet but still get remote support. For $300 that's a no brainer.
Also, we drill holes in wood, our value add is low. 50% margins would kill us. You may want to look at increasing your cost.

I live in an area near a lot of manufacturing, so I'll reach out to them. Thanks!
