I would love to see that source, if you've got it. I'm (for obvious
reasons) not the person to talk to about getting it in the NetBSD
tree, but if I can hack my floppy driver into working stably enough
for tripwire, I'll be happy.

Again, if no one else is working on this, I'd be willing to take a
whack at it.

Doesn't port-mac68k have floppy support? Is it different here
because... the floppy drive goes through the PCI chain? (Along those
lines, doesn't port-mac68k have nubus support? Why doesn't port-macppc
then? Because of the differences between 68k motorolas and PPCs instead
of between PCI and nubus busses?)

Anyway, David, if you can email me your source (preferably privately,
not to the list), I'd appreciate a chance to muck around with it.
