I have a 15 year old sampler (an Ensoniq ASR-10). It represents state-of-the-art of about 15 years ago, which means floppy disks, SCSI 1 and 8Mb of RAM.
But that's tame. There are people who still use Ensoniq Mirages: that's SSSD floppies and a few hundred K. Or early E-mus. Or DX-7s. And so on and so on.
