Great, can't see anyone objecting to doling out some floppy love.
Applied, thanks.

Whatever that involves, I don't like the sound of it.

Here's a belated Ack if you can add it:

Either way, thanks Denis.

Floppy love? It's not that hard.

There's no reason for jokes around this, I think you stepping up on
this one will be much welcome. There are still a lot of floppies in
the wild and we'd better make sure they continue to work well. Thanks
for doing this.

Awesome, thanks a lot Denis for offering to carry the torch I dropped.

Hi Denis,
I just saw this on LWN and would like to thank you for picking
up floppy support as it’s important (especially for interfacing
with esoteric hardware). I’m also collecting a few drives so I
can use a spare if one breaks… usable discs are becoming a problem
though ☹
bye,

When he found out that the m68k port was in a pretty bad shape, he did
not, like many before him, shrug and move on; instead, he took it upon
himself to start compiling things, just so he could compile his shell.
How's that for dedication. -- Wouter, about my Debian/m68k revival

For the record, I still have three or maybe more 3.5" drives here, if
you want them, delivery to your office should be easy ;-).
