the link is
=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0ftp://ftp.quanstro.net/other/9atom.iso.bz2<= /a>
=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0cf819b70c90cedc39e305fb57d38f5df37302f84 =A0 =A0 =A0 = =A0Aug 26 09:13 9atom.iso.bz2

just a point of clarification. =A0the purpose of 9atom.iso
is to help people get going who are having trouble with
various sata or pata chipsets. =A0i recommend using
the standard cd if it works for you. =A0applying the contrib
packages to an official cd makes more sense as i hope
that this one-off cd can go away in the future.

it has different kernels and 9loads than the distribution.
it also applies the ape strtod fix to awk, and doesn't use
floating point in venti or fossil to avoid rounding errors.
you can think of 9atom.iso as plan9.iso.bz2 +
=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0contrib quanstro/9load-e820 =A0 =A0 (binaries only)
=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0contrib quanstro/sd =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 (binaries only)=
=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0/n/sources/patch/apestrtod =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0(awk = binary only)
=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0/n/sources/patch/fossil-sleep-stress
=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 = =A0 =A0(venti moded, too)

for my own convienence, there are some kernel differences
not covered above. =A0they should be inconsequential.
but the source to that kernel is here
=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0ftp://ftp.quanstro.net/other/kernel.mkfs.bz2

I think there's work going on to use= plan 9 to load plan 9 (maybe?) to replace 9load. =A0However, is there any = chance of getting your 9load in the mainline if/once people determine it to= support more hardware?
