I replaced the floppy in my Fluke 9100A with a Gotek. The hard drive with
a SCSI2SD. It greatly enhanced it's usability.
Why? For the reasons you state. It's not a museum piece.
Also they are not destructive changes. The original devices can be
reattached if needed.
I'm surprised at the "why would you do that" and "you may as well just
use
an emulator" comments. Unfortunate.
