I am totally going to do a self plug on a chapter I wrote to address this
issue of using virtualization of control computers to extend the life of
legacy instrumentation.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28188538/
We run a lot of our older equipment on newer computers that are running
virtual images of the original control computers.
I have tested the methodology as far back as Windows 2000. I am not sure
if it will work for NT, but a search on the web suggests that other people
have had some success here. The one gotcha will be if the control computer
uses a special interface card to talk to the instrumentation.
Rest of post
