Re: 8 inch floppy disks
I worked in a job where the gamma ray spectrometer in the QA lab still used an 8" floppy in the 1990s. It probably had less CPU power than my phone, but all the hard work was done by the attached electronics so it wasn't much more than a glorified data logger.
It kept on working and the calibration was spot on, so there was no point replacing it.
