I've seen a 486 machine with a QBasic program to read values from a parallel port, working perfectly on an university (on a Physics lab) in 2000 .
He has been lucky that his 486 don't broke, but sometimes the old hardware is more resilient what you think. The only hard drives that I seen to die, was modern hard drives of >100GiB . However, I have here an Amiga 1200 with a little hard disk of 200MiB that it keeps working fine.
