Yep. Old automated bed-of-nails machine for testing PCBs had an 8-inch floppy drive
when I worked at the mixing desk manufacturing company. The computerised desk testing machine was a DOS 286 with a black and white monitor. But, as they say, if it's not broken, don't try to fix it.

This was a color tester for checking the formula of plastic resin samples.
It was running on a 286 with a green monitor. All anyone there knew was that you put in your sample and hit Enter.

These engineers were all about my age. They had all used DOS machines when they were the state of the art. And none of them knew how to edit a batch file or how to get to the autoexec.bat file.

Overpaid twits.

That's bad I.T. right there.
