Since I build my own computers, and I need to conserve money, I have a 
floppy dick drive, and PATA (old parallel ATA) hard drives. If archivists 
WANT to keep data on older systems they can. They just need to keep the old 
hardware running.
 Or they can build a 'bridge' system that has both the older and a newer 
hardware combination and simply copy the data,,,again and again...
If anybody LOOSES data due to changes in media it is their own fault.
