Dear All,
Hope you all are in the best health. We have Mark-V system installed at our site here with DOS-based HMI. The issue we are facing the availability of 4 GB IDE Drives, since the system does not read any HDD greater than 4 GB. IDE Drive failure rate has also been increased so we are severely in need of a solution asap.
Solution 1 : Virtualization
One way to resolve this crisis is the virtualize our DOS-based HMI to window based. How ever we will need to find ARCNet Card with its drivers compatible with Windows and OKIdata Microline 490-24pin printer and I think we are good to go.
Solution 2 : Upgrade
Most unlikely to be approved
Solution 3 :
Any solution that the HMI motherboard can read IDE drives greater than 4 GB.
Virtualization is the most viable solution to me, need your precious inputs.
