I do a lot of work with industrial companies who have to deal with old automation hardware and software maintenance. If you have an old system and want to keep it running, you gather up spare parts, you make archives of the running systems, you file all of the installation CD's, notes and instructions so you can repair your system when it goes down, etc, etc. No one expects that the newest software from Siemens, AB, or other industrial software suppliers is going to load into an old controller without upgrading hardware. It just isn't realistic. Exclude Hardy and move on. My two cents..
