Advice Requested on Life Expectancy of a PC Windows System

[Douglas Taylor]

I have Win3.1, Win98, and XP systems in separate boxes to support my 
classic computer interests.

The latest is my Tek TDS320 oscilloscope, which I wanted to get a screen 
grab or actual data from.  TEK had a piece of code Docuwave I think, 
which is 20 years old which talks to it via rs232 or gpib.  However, it 
relied on drivers for NI ISA bus era GPIB boards.  Good luck finding 
those drivers!

Back to rs232.
