    A lot and i mean a lot of industrial controllers are running on 486s. Intel was producing 486s up until 2007. And a lot of companies wont get rid of controllers if they continue to work.

        You do if want to support modern hardware. Just because the brains are old doesnt mean the peripherals are.
