Such older equipment didn't originally support EPC. Possibly, depending how old is old, a later IOS might have added the EPC feature. If not, we used to place a sniffer, externally, in-line or, if device supported SPAN, direct its output to a packet capture device.

You're on the right track. SPAN support does vary per platform, and there a 3 variants, see https://learningnetwork.cisco.com/s/article/span-rspan-erspan.

Ah, isn't "monitor" a SPAN configuration command? For example, as shown in: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/switches/catalyst-6500-series-switches/10570-41.html
So, unclear how you're not using a SPAN setting options. Unless it's the capability to "export" to the device's own flash.
