We are currently running a KTX card on an ISA slot in an older NT machine. Its an old Pentium machine and handles our application fine but I am concerned about the reliablity.
We have been operating in a dusty compounding environment and this is the second computer installed for this application in 6 years. We are moving to a new facility that will be a much cleaner environment and I am looking to upgrade our system at the same time as the move.
But upgrading the computer means I have to upgrade from our current KTX card to a PKTX card due to the lack of ISA slots in the newer machines.
Any suggestions? We will purchase a PKTX card and a newer computer but I wonder if there are any limitations on the PKTX card. One of our subcontractors that works with us on some of our mixing programs said that computer speed may be a problem installing a PKTX card into todays faster computers.
We have a handful of processors all on the DH+ network and we aren't in a position to upgrade to ethernet as of yet.
Thank you,
JP
