This statement is inaccurate.  the 'fd' driver like the adaptec scsi
driver, and other pc-device-drivers are inherently pc-specific.  So
what?  The alternative is to have no device drivers which obviously
wouldn't work.

We have no objection to floppy tape drive support,  we just haven't
gotten to it.  These tape drives are immensely brain damaged, but
cheap.  Support for them is non-trivial, and time consuming.

As always, please feel to do the work yourself.  We welcome submissions.

later,
Adam Glass
