VXI Upgrade Hard Drive and Operating System to XP

‎03-14-2005 05:38 PM

Is it possible to upgrade the hard drive and operating system in an old VXI-PC 486 Model 566? Currently the OS is Windows for Workgroups. Thanks for any help.

Michael,

The main problem here is that you're dealing with a 486 processor and very little RAM. You may be able to upgrade but that controller was never tested with other operating systems. I would recommend trying it out as long as you backup your system.
