There are sites on the web where I've bought parts for out of production
computer equipment where the seller has parts removed from older
equipment, It's akin to an auto wrecking yard and a good idea for
a business that has older stuff that still works and does the job. Not
that too many years ago I had customers who were still running DOS because
it just worked. o_O


I have two old laptops that run win 98 and DOS not because I want to, but
because to program some other older equipment that is all that will work.

Not too long ago where I worked there was a search for an old PS2 type 3.5
inch floppy drive so it could be used on an expensive piece of lab
equipment.

Industry tends to hold on to equipment for a long time.
