I've got several configurations that run off a floppy.  If you build
a platform just for the {router,terminal server,test box} so there
are no moving parts (bar fans) it is pretty nice.

If what you want won't fit on a crunched floppy (or two floppies--a:
and b:) then the LS-120 drive or a CD-ROM start to look attractive.
