I remember trying this on an actual floppy disk.

I got that floppy with some magazine. It was incredible and magic. I cry when some one application update pulls gigabytes over the line for some changes I don't give a crap about and don't notice but 'you have to update to continue' (yes, it's xcode).

QNX was well-liked in the embedded world. A friend of mine wrote some river lock control software in Pascal under QNX in the early 1990s.
