I started by Installing Windows NT in a virtual box. For some reason my memory saved that experience as wonderful. Why, I will never know.
That sucked. Also, RS Logix 500 v6.20 complained about my Windows NT version.
Just to see what would happen. I tried to install it in Windows 10 Home.
I was amazed that it installed.
I was hoping that it would at least allow me to view my code w/o a key disk.
After struggling to find a floppy disk...
And, the floppy key disk is too old to even be read.
Am I a hoarder for keeping that old zip disk from 1996 that I will probably never be able to read?
What are my available options:
1) Buy a key From Rockwell?
a) Do they even still sell a key for v6.20.
b) How much would that even cost?
c) Would it be more cost effective to just rewrite the code from scratch?
2) Try to get a key off Ebay?
3) Bribe a guy?
