I am working with a company in Canada that does manufacturing. Their
software is old DOS, and the network is Novell.
We have plenty of NIC cards that will work, but rather than pay $20 for mine
with BNC, he is ordering his exact card from another company for $96 each!
Their reasoning is that it takes more human hours to configure a different
card than the price difference of the cards is worth. Also no support
available any longer for these old systems and software, even though I sent
him the exact drivers from the Novell page.
Seems like some of you retired folks should offer your services to companies
like these, get them up and going again. The kids they have in-house know
NOTHING abt DOS or ISA! The purchasing agents can only go by exact PN that
was in the old system, and they will pay through their teeth to keep them
running.
