I'm undecided on if it makes sense here, but you can have a single software list for a family of machines and use the <sharedfeat name="compatibility"> tag, something like this:

<sharedfeat name="compatibility" value="vfxsd,sd1,sd132" />

Then in the driver on the SOFTWARE_LIST() config item you'd append

.set_filter("sd1"); to mark a machine as able to use items with the sd1 tag.

I use that feature extensively for the mac_cdrom.xml list.

I saw that in some other software lists. But the nice thing about having multiple software lists is that, when choosing an item from a software list in the File Manager, the user first has to choose the software list from which to choose a floppy image:

This choice of software list seems to always happen, even if there's only a single software list:

So keeping them in different lists lets the user see that grouping, which I think is useful.
