What about the level of hardware failure with floppy disks?
CF cards seem pretty suitable. They're simple and well established; there's likely to be a supply of them for a long time, and it seems feasible to have a batch custom made if that's necessary 30 years down the line.
- Zardoz84 10y agoI can verify that a floppy disk can resist a long time. I have 3" 1/4 disks from early 90's that keep working fine, plus this last year, I saw a bunch of old 80's 8" floppy disks working on a old Z80 computer.
