that would be good, I will also have some stuff to upload.
How about linux-q40.sourceforge.net?

No, but I test it only every 3 months or so. Which version, any
dmesg or /var/log/messages hints? There is some fdparam utility
that can enable floppy debugging messages, can't find it now.
There is one known problem with the floppy driver - the CPU
must serve approx 30K interrupts/second for the floppy.
This will allmost certainly fail if the load is high or other
io is underway, it should silently retry though.
