   Aww ... you ruined the joke !  :-)

   As for "formats" - NASA was nefarious for buying one-off
   custom systems that won't interface with anything else,
   media or otherwise. MAY be better now, but during the
   old space program things and needs were changing so
   quickly that 'compatibility' was an unknown term.
   "We need a Freeblefrinkle 270x by next week and a
   bunch of their 9.47 inch disks !".

   The Voyager data - still coming ... hopefully it's
   hard-printed somewhere.

Reading vintage data is not hard. So long as you know the format and 
have suitable hardware.

There is nothing much to reading e.g. an 8" floppy beyond the drive 
itself. And if its important enough that  can be manufactured too.

   Ummm ... where ... by whom ?

   Sorry, NO MORE MARKET. No more $$$

   Long LONG gone.

   Yea, it'd be kind of cool to have a big old 8"
   Shugart attached to my BeeLink ... but it's NOT
   HAPPENING.

   Wanna convert you 8-inchers ? Then it's some
   obscure and VERY EXPENSIVE hole-in-the-wall
   spot you'll probably never find OR can afford.

   This is The Story for 'digital'.

   It'll get WORSE soon.

   I've a very old box, with very noisy fan, that
   still has plugs for ATA drives, 5-1/4/3" drives.
   It's on its last legs. MIGHT do "Zip" but not
   sure I have drivers.

   A few more years and even CD/DVD won't have drivers
   anymore. Then thumb drives. Then .......

   I'm figuring NO MORE LOCAL HARDWARE SUPPORT - it's
   cloud/AI or nothing.

   "They" are steering you to where they Make Profit
   and can steal all your stuff for MORE profit.

   Isn't it clear ?

   Was looking at 'cloud' storage sites a little while
   ago ... one demanded that the data NOT be encrypted,
   even while promising their OWN 'encryption'. Guess
   what's up ??? Soon, all .......

If someone wants it enough, it can be made.

Anyone else who had data on 8" now has it on an SSD.

Yes, but no. It has been written by someone who doesn't understand what
the cloud is.

By the way, a few years ago, when an OVH data Center burned in
Strasbourg, it proved that OVH weren't doing cloud neither. They
pretended to, but they were only jumping on the hype train. I'm just
stating a fact to avoid you telling me first that as a French I'm far
away of what a real cloud is.

I don't remember what it was exactly. Someone demanded from authorities 
an old conference in video from somebody, under freedom of information 
act or similar. Found silence, had to insist via court order, till he 
finally got told that the speech was in video and they had the tapes, 
but there was no machine that would play those tape so that they could 
digitize and send the file to him.

Which is why "user friendly" is meaningless hype. You *will* use your
computer for what the vendors want you to use it for, not for anything
you many find useful.

No it’s not.

Don’t like the Free Software code that is already being provided to
you? Write your own. Or hire someone to do what you want.

How do you think all that existing code came into being? It doesn’t
write itself, you know.

   Kind of true.

   However there's no ONE person (yet) writing the code.

   Many with different perspectives/needs.

   Tomorrow, it'll be naught but the "AI" ... then we're
   in deep shit.

   All bow to the AI ... perfect Truths, THE way of
   looking at things ............

Although, no security updates and bugfixed upstream then. Rather
unlikely that people will continue to buy such devices.

Without bugfixes and support, I don't like such solutions. Small x64
hardware is cheap.

Useless for current applications.

I have serious doubt that you are able to install any current
distribution on such a system. You need a kernel with just a small
portion of the features to make it possible to use only some MBs of RAM.

FYI: ~3 years ago I tried to use the Debian installer on 384 MB - it
crashed. Now images that for machines with under 16MB.

Will already run horrible on a Pentium 2 - with resources multiple
times of 386 machines.

And is a hobby. Such old stuff sometimes still exists in companies -
but if it fails or needs to be changes, it is a PITA.

Many parts of the Linux kernel are maintained by companies. I have
doubt that they will care about that old stuff. Linux already dropped
support for really old graphics cards, ISDN and other stuff that is not
well-used nowadays and created issues. Nobody liked to seriously take
over.
