A while back I needed to install a niche amateur radio program from the early 1990s on an arm SBC from a defunct company. No problem. No modem? Emulate one. Interface it with a new piece of audio hardware over an interface that hadn't existed when the software was written? I needed to modify 2 lines in a text file for that. Add support for tcpip? Sure, pipe it over ax.25? OK, I'll install it... Already installed. SSH into another computer over that strung together heap of crap, two hand held radios, and some badly spliced audio cables? You betcha.
