i have five P-90 systems in production as firewalls. well, i overclock
them to 100MHz. anyways, floppy.fs are install media. what do you
need in the install media that isn't there? thing is about systems
this old, back then the HW was built alot better, so by gosh they're
still around and they still run. ok they're noisier, 100 times bigger
and far less powerful than e.g. soekris, but hey. the floppy drives
work.
