Basically - no! They are too old and most of the new hardware doesn't even have drivers for 9x any longer.

Re: Drivers 9x

Yeah, what lightsout said.

Generally, I consider it a very foolish idea to use 9x in a productive environment WITH inet access.
9x is no longer supported by MSFT which means it will not receive any critical (or non-critical for that matter) security patches, meaning your system is likely to get compromised through one of the numerous security holes.

If you are using it for an offline machine, that's fine, however, you may consider switching to Linux if you are just using 9x for the lower hardware performance footprint.

Is there any specific task you want to use 9x at?
I'm sure there's alternatives to be found.
