 There are a lot of legacy operating systems and hardware. We support a lot of things, but not everything. Sometimes it's confusing to tell. PARSEC doesn't support hardware directly. We work with other hardware partners who have things like parts depots and field engineers to support the operating system running on that older hardware. Below is a table breaking down what operating systems we do support and the usual sort of hardware it runs on.  There are a lot of legacy operating systems and hardware.
