Right, it was referenced in one of the articles that a bunch of legacy industrial machines likely still use this hardware, so they’re probably going to have to go dig up PCI modems from that era without the Agere/Lucent chipset.

People using that legacy hardware generally can’t run Windows 10, which just ended support this month. The patch is only for Windows 11, which won’t run on older hardware.

  The patch is for Windows 10, Windows 11, and Server 2008 up to Server 2025.

    Further, there’s companies that make custom-built modern machines that support classic PCI and modern operating systems and classic operating systems.
    
    Yeah, some extremely expensive equipment at my job runs on Adobe Flash. Modern machines won’t even allow Flash to run because it’s so insecure. We just updated the control PC for that equipment last year; It’s a computer that is dual-booting Windows 11 and Windows XP. It boots into WinXP by default, to be able to run Flash. Then if you ever need to update it, you can swap over to Win11 to be able to connect to the internet.
