Well, the borescope is running on an old archaic motherboard with ISA slots to do everything so I just didn’t really care enough to try to do anything with it at that point mostly because the fiberscope was garbage as well. At that point I might as well have built a new one but there’s no way they would have funded it so I wasn’t going to.
I’m sadly quite aware of it, it’s more that it’s a little shocking that VMs aren’t being rolled out in respect to it, considering how mature the technology is.

Why not use a Windows 3.1 VM in DOSBox and use a local directory as your C drive so you can easily add and remove files from the Win3.1 instance?
Unless the borescope has have physical hardware that can run Win3.1?
Virtual Machines have really kind of solved the “but I need old software” issue.

You’d be surprised how often the actual, physical hardware is just chugging along on “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” mindset.
