I still have some old music equipment (keyboards with sequencers, drum machines) that use floppies. I suspect this is one significant area of use, and industrial machines are another.
That relates to the retro compute scene. Hardware like yours used in a commercial setting, or do you just have some old hardware only used by hobbyist?
> We'll see how much longer the Linux floppy driver sticks around as it becomes increasingly difficult to imagine a relevant scenario where not only traditional floppy disks are used (outside of industrial equipment)
I know floppies are still used out there in the wild world, but I'd love to hear more about it. I just know about it from the classic/retro comupting niche
