Which is probably good because you would need to find drivers for all those 
old devices.  The drivers may not exist on the new operating systems.  
Legacy devices are not fully guaranteed to work when you need them  It is 
best to copy all old file format devices forward to the newest device 
formats to retain for the long term.,  It takes time, but it is a real 
requirement.

Beside that I have closet full with x-hundred's of CD's, ZIPs, JAZs, DVD's, 
backup tapes, several devices and hard discs from the past 15 years. But my 
experience is that I do not need anything of my old data.
