Luckily still around

Since Microsoft quite unexpectedly yanked NT service packs off their download site, I've been quite unsure of whether it's still possible to get the post SP6 rollup plus other updates. A quick search revealed the post service pack 6 rollup on their website, and luckily once you have IE6 installed on NT, you can still access Windows Update to get the updates released after the rollup.

Why am I still using NT? I have an old Pentium MMX system with 64MB RAM which is fully NT compatible. But the reason I want to use it is for control/automation projects, due to it having two parallel ports and two real serial ports. And of course, you can write apps using VB6 ;)
