Greetings;
I just been advised by private email that I an not the only one who has lost the use of his floppy drive via dd. The corresponder noted that he had a copy of DSL with a 2.4.something kernel, and his drive worked flawlessly while booted to DSL.
So now there are at least 2 floppy users wandering in the wilderness looking for water. We need it to support 20 year old computers without a TCP stack or network cards.
Who is the floppy.c maintainer these days?
