Hoosier Gun Coat

I've posted over at CNCzone and can't get any help. I just received my CNC lathe the other day. The computer that came with it is older than dirt (Windows 3.1). From what I'm gathering, the CPU was used as an external storage device. All programming was done from the control panel. Can this setup be updated with a newer CPU and cad/cam software (something like Mach3) and upload programs through the CPU rather than manual input. The retrofit is a Servo Products model 8000. I have 2 manual lathes but this is my first brush with a CNC lathe. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
