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
