Ouch, yeah.
I came in at the start of the floppy era. Before that we actually shipped clinical instruments with ROM boards only, and updates were shipping a new board. Part of our department was still doing that.
There was this big consciousness that, even with floppies, you never knew they would reach their destination, and out of date software might live for many many years.
