Hate to mention it, but that's very new hardware and that is
a very old OS with little or no present support, so it may be
a very challenging effort to get 7.3 installed and working properly.
Even more so if you actually want modern security levels and
so on.

Not sure what to suggest though since I'm in very much the
same boat with major applications. One approach is to use old
hardware to support the legacy OS. You also can run inside VMWare
or another emulator (install modern Linux first of course).

Or if you really need to just plod along and folks here will
hopefully have enough clues to get you going.

sorry but I don't have any hints at the moment. If anything
rings a bell from my experience I'll chime in.
