a great idea, sir, except for two minor points: i don't have
1) a plan 9 fileserver or 2) another ethernet card in my 35m2 paris
apartment.

i do have an ADSL, but that's not gonna help.
it's like when i did the 8th edition 'port' to an 11/780, in sydney.
we had the code. it's there to be modified so unsupported or broken
stuff works. a tu-16 bugfix and a new 512b file-system type springs
to mind.
