Do you want to make folks feel old? I still got a working external 3.5 floppy drive (I also got a 5 1/4 inch on a very old PC, but I am supposed to throw it away as the PC does not work anymore). I do have a working C64 with datasette, too (got the bard's tale 1 on it). 

yes, the young shall inherit the earth hahaha. also, that is cool I have played it had a bit of trouble getting things done on it. it doesn't have a story but meh. i bet you where around when skeletor was not a meme. but yah i am trying to figure out the ui it is so archaic it susprises me that it is lit.

Do you know that there are emulators?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_computer_system_emulators

Specifically 8 bit computers:

(i.e. Commodore, Atari)

Specifically 32 bit computers:

(i.e. Amiga, Atari ST, Apple)

When emulator is running on a modern machine, it takes seconds to load any ancient program, which normally loaded in 20-60 minutes like e.g. Gauntlet on Atari XE from tape thirty years ago. i.e. you will be able to check more programs or games, than on original, because not having to wait so long for reaction.

You are missing the point. Why play bard's tale at all if do not have to pull out the cassette, turn it over, rewind press play and wait it gets to the right place when entering a dungeon...?

yah i do use emulators most of the time a non profit called classic reload @CharonY and that is cool. it is not as slow as you old man @Sensei
