That’s probably a good idea. A decent amount of old programs can be run on modern equipment if you can create a good disk image and get it virtualized. There’s some edge cases with figuring out I/O and getting timing to work correctly, but I’d say most old tech can be made to work with a reasonable amount of effort.
If over $10k is on the line, there’s almost no reason to not at least try if you can afford the downtime.
Shouldn’t it be possible to image the drive and deploy it on another laptop?
