  • 3B1 Floppies

    From Dave Brower@21:1/5 to Bill Gunshannon on Sat Jan 23 20:11:44 2016
    I'm working on changes to the linux sysv filesystem driver so it can mount UNIX-PC filesystems -- there are some slight variations in the superblock format that need to be detected and automatically handled. It works OK for a hard-disk filesystem image,
    but I don't know about actual floppy disks or floppy images. I don't think there's any difference.

    Bill, I should have a 3B1 running within the next couple of weeks (one
    of your old ones, in fact!) and can assist you with pulling off that
    data, if it comes to that.

    Dave,

    Did you ever get your 3b1 running?
