Old technology like this can be interesting to read about or watch a youtube video on (cheers to LGR), but actually having to store, or, worse, maintain it yourself...? Best leave that to the retro enthusiasts. Now, for legitimate technical support reasons, having older systems around at least lives in the same dimension as sense. If you’re selling something and claiming to support it on ye olde system x, then yeah, you better be able to back that up with actual support. That said, once hardware has been EoL’ed, better to just backup anything relevant on a given system to an external data store and save yourself the space. Even an HDD’s worth floppies is going to take up far less room than a whole dang tower. But if finding the time and motivation to do that were easy, well… this post probably wouldn’t be a thing.
