At the very least, you want hardware from the same era, because as you're finding out, modern hardware is built to run modern operating systems, and generally doesn't bother to support old operating systems. There are probably local computer recyclers who can help you out with locating old hardware, and failing that, there are always online options, many of which specialize in obsolete hardware for this very reason.
There's another guy who'll do it for a grand, and any number of others who will do it a lot cheaper if you know where to look. It's usually worth looking, too, as the standard solution to the issue of ICS vendors that can't be bothered to make their gear compatible with computing technology from the current millennium is to find hardware that works and stockpile it.
If you're smart, you have all your stockpiled replacements imaged up and ready to go on a moment's notice too, so whenever whatever computer is currently running your ICS software dies, it's just a matter of grabbing another one off the shelf and swapping it out for the dead one.
There's a state-of-the-art, relatively new datacenter a few miles away from me that uses this very trick for their HVAC system - a small, unassuming little whitebox PC running Windows '95 is connected to the HVAC system by a very long serial cable, and is the unsung hero responsible for keeping the datacenter cool.
And last I checked, there were 4 more identical whitebox PCs sitting on a shelf, waiting to be swapped in when the one currently doing the job gives up the ghost. Whether you try that, or bare metal hardware, I agree with joeqwerty. Clone a new image and don't do any registry hacks. Therefore, you won't be able to use the same IP address as before.

If so, create a new, unadulterated image and try that. You're using XP as a server? Trying a windows repair now. Wasn't my decision to run it on Windows XP, I just found the server. JimB Industrial control system. When it's not terrible, it's awful. And either way, they charge an arm and a leg for it. Back in , I was tasked with building a very special Windows 98 PC by my employers at the time, because the ICS for a multi-million dollar assembly line only supported Windows 98 well, or 95 , and the previous ICS computer had crashed.
Incidentally, this particular assembly line was installed in or so. Brand new, multi-million dollar assembly line, controlled by the best consumer operating system the 90's had to offer. Seriously, ICS vendors are evil incarnate. Show 4 more comments.

Sound support is currently limited to PCM pulse code modulation output that is, any application that produces sound without using MIDI. If you have more than one physical sound adapter in your host computer, you can choose which one to connect to the virtual sound adapter. You can also choose whether the virtual sound adapter should be connected when the virtual machine starts.
This gives you the ability to play. If you notice that sound skips in your guest operating system, you may try adding two variables to your virtual machine's configuration file. These variables are sound. VMware cannot provide you with specific settings to use; how these settings affect your sound quality depends on many factors, including your environment and the way you are employing sound.
But here are some general rules of thumb to use when setting these variables:. Refer to the documentation for your particular Windows operating system. You may need to install additional software on your system to support sound. VMware cannot provide support assistance in configuring sound on your host operating system. Please contact your host operating system support provider or sound card manufacturer for help.
