Sbig stl1100

Hi All,
I've had a bit of a break from astronomy ( Work and Life ), now getting back into it.
I had my observatory set up for measuring spectra, but now wish to use my ancient cameras.
Before I start wading through various forums to get things working again, I have a few questions I thought the brains trust here might be able to help with.

Does anybody still use a QHY8?

Does anybody still use a SBIG STL1100?

My old Windows 98 observatory computer is long gone, so should I run an emulator or have people got these working on Windows 10 or 11?

I do have a Windows 8.1.2 computer that was running the spectrograph. I tried loading the SBIG drivers on that but couldn't get SBIG's CCDOps to run.

If someone is using these, it would be great if I could pick your brains to get things working again. This might save a lot of hair-pulling.

Thanks in advance Ken
