I have an interest, but I have had to wait for school to end to take on
the project. In short, I have about 50, soon to be 70, point of sale
win98 workstations running Vandyke's CRT to telnet to a linux server
hosting the POS (in this industry the acronym is for point of sale, not
the often appropriate piece of sh__ :-) ) application. I want these
machines to become thin linux clients. I am at the beginning of the
research, but I sure would like to keep the hardware and just use the
floppy. I really am very interested in working with you to
develop/refine this. I will, over the course of the summer and through
the next year , be Open Sourcing as much of Pricebusters, a local
retailer, as is possible. Success with this floppy will be huge. The
POS company, based in Tennessee, www.synchronics.com, likely has a
dealer and customers in your neck of the woods. This refinement could
lead to some opportunities for you. We would certainly serve as a proud
reference. More to come on this one, I am just emerging from the
oppressive shroud of the semester.

If you need any help doing HDD-less linux distros, don't hesitate to
ask me as I've been working on that quite a bit recently. I've got a
complete system with basically every networking tool you could ever
want (including full ipv6 support) on one barely full floppy disk,
and
that's without tweaking the linking and compiler optimization for
size.
