I am using the floppy only for testing plan9.ini parameters.
This should be possible with qemu or other emulators too. Later
I will use an IDE disk or IDE flash disk (I would prefer the
second).
So I am not sure whether it makes sense to spend time to make this
possible. I can live wíthout the floppy support.
I would like to ask where are the differences between the original
Ken fileserver and your modifications? Many documents in the web
seems
to be made for the original fileserver. So it would be helpfull for
me to know the differences.
Regards,
Wolfgang
