Isn't it about time to drop support for floppies soon? Legacy support 
is probably not what most people using DF is looking for and the 
developers have (in my opinion at least) better things to spend their 
time on.

Just a though, and I might be wrong.

Sorry, but you are wrong. :)

Floppies (even when emulated via ILOM, via a virtual machine like e.g. 
VMware or thru cd-rom booting with el-torito) are essential. It would be 
stupid to remove that. Gergo also has a point wrt. legacy hardware.

Cheers,
