[ sources and 9fans.org are both down ? ]

Anyone have a pointer to a recent 9pi.img for the Pi 2?

I wasn't aware of this image.  I downloaded/installed it, but USB is broken :-(  If I type *very* slowly, the keyboard gets the right character about 10 % of the time, the rest of the time it looks like line noise from a bad analog modem connection.  It even has a mind of its own and starts typing gibberish all by itself!

For the mouse, dragging is almost impossible.  Go any distance at all and usb sees a button-up event, so it's impossible to move or resize windows.

I've tried a couple of different keyboards and mice, so it's not specific to the individual hardware.  And the same Pi2 runs X under Raspbian just fine, so the Pi itself is okay.

So, still looking for one of Richard's standard Pi images ...

Hi Lyndon, 

Are you still searching for the Richard's image? I just
checked, and I can access
sources from within Plan 9 (9fs sources), and
I also tried to fcp 9pi.img.gz
(12mar2017) with success. If you don't
have access to a running networked plan 9
machine, I can make it
available somehow. But maybe you already solved the problem,
or I
missunderstood it :-)

No, still looking.  I can't 9fs as I'm bootstrapping from scratch here, and the Lab's web site still seems to be down (from here at least).  If you could put it someplace I could FTP or HTTP download it from, that would be wonderful!  Thanks ;-)

Thanks, I have a working Pi now.
