Hmmm.
All embroidery machines I have seen in the last - say - ten years were retrofitted with a floppy emulator like the Gotek, (only as an example, there are tens of possibly the same devices sold under n brands/names):

If I had one, I'd spin up Civ1 just for old times!
I use it mostly for Borland C++, but also Solitaire in Windows 3.1.
I also have an 8088, a 286 and a 386...
All of my floppy using devices are synthesizers or samplers, and keeping them around is not a matter of not being able to afford to upgrade, but rather than many of these devices have very unique sounds that aren't replicated by newer equipment.
It used to be the case. Nowadays, the Open Source FlashFloppy firmware will handle any custom format, including the HFE formats HxC use.
They seem super cheap on ebay too https://www.ebay.com/itm/364063791560
