Re:FAA to eliminate floppy disks used in air traffic control... by skissane on Monday June 09, 2025 @05:58PM (#44229990)
The reason why I doubt it for the FAA, is I know in the 1990s the core ATC system ran on IBM mainframes and the specialised equipment was directly or indirectly connected to the mainframes. Hence, I expect the Windows PCs were used to run terminal emulators, email/messaging, various auxiliary applications.
