Even earlier than that. In the 1980's Brother had a sewing machine with a floppy disk drive.

The sewing machine drive turns out to be compatible with the old TRS-80 Model 100 laptop, so retro computer collectors fall over themselves to get one.

Similarly, Brother was using also floppy drives for their knitting machines.
