most equipment i could buy last year offered cd boot.  there's no need
to upgrade: booting a cd kernel from a floppy or hard disk to run from
the cd is nearly as good.  it was unfortunate i didn't include a 9pccd on
the vita cd last time, but i didn't think of it then.  in fact, it was only
the recent arrival of a floppy-less thinkpad that reminded me of it.
i'll probably put it up on the web site now i've got it.

How much target h/w has a CD-drive and a BIOS
that supports CD-boot?
I know mine doesn't!

Looks like it's getting time to upgrade.
