I had a buddy with a small woodworking company, never really made any money, but struggled on for 10 years or so before packing it in. He had 2 giant C&C machines that he got at auctions of other failing businesses (there's your hint right there). They were controlled with Win95 machines too. The company wouldn't support them unless he upgraded to newer computers - which was possible because the company would fly out a tech to install the new connection bits on the machine and install a new computer - $35,000 and change as I recall. There was no way he was going to do that. I stockpiled a couple of replacement machines of the same vintage and made backups of the installation floppies for the controller software. In 2015 I think, I made an image to another IDE drive by mounting it in the machine as a slave and booting from a Norton Ghost floppy - sourced from eBay at the time. The clone would boot the machine, so we called it a success but luckily never had to use it.
