I don't intend to make any changes to the version of the fileserver code
you should have now, and it doesn't have any IDE support.

The 9P2000 fileserver, which I am again working on now that update
is out of the way, is planned to support any device the cpu/terminal
kernel has. Of course, by the time I'm finished all this may be moot
as there is another (separate) fileserver project underway which may
subsume the Plan 9 one.
