That’s probably a good idea. A decent amount of old programs can be run on modern equipment if you can create a good disk image and get it virtualized. There’s some edge cases with figuring out I/O and getting timing to work correctly, but I’d say most old tech can be made to work with a reasonable amount of effort.
If over $10k is on the line, there’s almost no reason to not at least try if you can afford the downtime.
