Why Legacy-PC matters

Why Legacy-PC matters

Your machine may be 10–25 years old. Your PC doesn’t have to be.

Our systems are:

  • Brand‑new builds (no recycled motherboards)
  • Engineered for legacy OS support (DOS, XP, Win7, QNX)
  • Fully tested with industrial interfaces (PCI, ISA, RS‑232, RS‑485)
  • Drop‑in replacements for failed controller PCs
  • Stable, predictable and long‑term supported

You get the reliability of new hardware with the compatibility your machine demands.

  • XP/QNX/DOS systems cannot be upgraded as the drivers for hardware are not compatible with later operating systems.
  • PCI/ISA cards may be configured in a specific way that a new replacement card cannot.
  • Replacing the PC could save £20k–£250k in machine replacement, if the machine is still perfectly serviceable.
  • Using a second hand PC may temporarily fix the machine, but refurbishing with a brand new PC will extend the working life of a machine significantly.
  • Motherboard comes with stable XP and Win7 drivers for true compatibility.
