I feel your pain. We've got Mitsubishi press brakes that run some weird Japanese DOS, 2 Mitsubishi lasers that run Windows 95; $850 K machines and they run Windows 95 and yes, they have 3.5" floppy drive. At least the drives weren't 5.25".

    Our last NEW laser we purchased a couple years ago still had and
    NT 4 based control. And I was actually excited that it wasn't IBM
    PC DOS. Praying the new tube laser we get in Jan will be one of
    the fancy new XP controls.

    You obviously don't work with much automated test equipment or
    industrial controls. :)
