I just put XP on a new computer build.. no problems with drivers.. Many component mfg's still support XP and provide drivers. E.g the Asus CD I got for the mobo, had XP drivers for all the components (built in video, lan, parallel port, chipset etc). I did not need to go searching for anything and purposely got this mobo as it had video, lan and a parallel port on board. Don't need anything fancy to run a CNC and all these are working great.
