Sorry, but I don't get it. The driver for the floppy disk interface in
NetBSD/i386 is specific to this port. Where would a modification to support
another PC device clash with the 'multi-platform' flavor? IMHO it doesn't
clash more than, say, PCVT. Or is anyone doing a port of PCVT to the Mac
or the Amiga? ;)
