Interesting. I wonder if it's a newer machine with DOS installed, or if he's still using some old 386… If it's the latter I'd worry about finding replacement parts when it inevitably breaks. If you've got an ST-506 disk, you'll never get a replacement for that!
- kobey 12y agoI worked in a lab where we had a computer dedicated to running a very specialized piece of equipment. The computer was a 386 running DOS. We had all of the software updates (including operating system) to upgrade everything if needed in case the computer stopped working. That was only a few years ago, and as far as I know that 386 is still running. After seeing the current software for running that piece of equipment, I understand why the lab never upgraded. The old UI was a bit clunky, but it was much easier to use.
