I hardly see any sense in anyone purchasing BSD/386 just because they
need a QIC-80 floppy based driver that works. For other reasons maybe, but
not for that. For the price of BSD/386 one can purchase a DAT drive! Maybe
you can write a driver for a difficult device, but you sure can't give
worthwhile advice! (hey, nice rhyme).
