- Symbiote 4y agoIt is probably running some specialist scientific equipment or similar.
- jiggawatts 4y agoI've worked on legacy DOS systems, and virtualising them is generally the right approach. You can use just about any modern hardware, and the VM will nicely abstract it away. Plumbing hardware through to the VM can be a challenge, but not impossible to overcome.
- lokedhs 4y agoSometimes it's for retrocomputing purposes. Using the old hardware is the whole point.
- grapescheesee 4y agoThe systems are running RTX setups. Realtime motion planning and commands. I am sure it can be done in VM's (with some heavy engineering time) but its really beyond it's planned or expected life.
