Indeed.
Just this year, we pulled our Pentium Pro box off our museum shelf and
did a fresh install of NT4 for a faculty member and their scientific
instrument.

Being a photographer, I know there is a real market for this. Many high-end
scanners will only work with older Macintosh or Windows systems. I have a scanner
that originally cost $10,000, and the only software for it runs on Windows XP
(thankfully I can use Parallels Desktop to run XP and use it). Other, even more
expensive scanners require even older software that requires physical systems. I
also have some pretty high-end Macintosh A/V HW & SW that won’t run on newer
systems.
I’m sure there is plenty of lab type equipment in this category as well.
