Two questions:
We are about to replace an old(er) HMI on a machine with FACTis - another old piece of software. We about to buy a *new* old PC -- that is, brand new, but with PIII-era hardware. It must run DOS, have a parallel port for the dongle, have slot for an ISA RS422 card, and serial or PS/2 mouse. USB is useful for loading the software into it. But the prices being charged for hardware that I can literally go pick out of the e-waste bin, is ludicrous!
Q1: Does anyone else on this form use Factis, and if so, what is the most modern hardware on which you have successfully run it?
Q2: If any of you /used/ to use Factis, might you have a dongle - or several - for it lying around, that you would part with?
