Hi Denise:I've had extensive experience with the AutoStainer line of
instruments, originally manufactured by LabVision and offered by a number IHC
product vendors. If memory serves me, the most important aspect of any
(desktop-style) PC that you intend to use as a replacement for the original PC,
is that it has, within its 'guts' the motion control board, which interfaces
with the instrument through that very broad cable that connects it to the the
PC.
Provided that the replacement PC's motherboard can accept that old motion
control board, it seems possible that it will connect with the instrument...but
the next biggest challenge is whether or not the application software can be
transferred from the old PC to the new PC. I suspect that others who are
familiar with this instrument will also chime in here. Also consider
contacting the folks at Affordable IHC Solutions:

Does anyone have the computer with Dako software on it, that will run an old
Dako Autostainer Plus IHC instrument? Our computer died but the instrument is
still in working order.
Agilent/Dako no longer supports or repairs this instrument or the computer that
runs it, so they are of no assistance.
Y'all are our only hope....!
