I wanted to ask about this.  A while back, there was some work on a driver
that handled some of the older machines with 800k drives (I think that's
right).  Recently, I've been doing work under the hood of MkLinux's floppy
drvier, and fairly soon, we're going to run in to a wall, specifically
Swim II support.  MkLinux's driver currently only supports Swim III.  Is
anyone interested in working with MkLinux's driver and NetBSD's partial
driver, to merge functionality?  What's the status of NetBSD's code?
