Hello
Thank you for including me since I'm not on the list currently.
My port was based on Gigabyte GA-6BXC witch also does not have floppy support, so the WIP status i basically just me intending to port it to GA-6BXE once it be implemented for GA-6BXC. I haven't worked actively on core boot for little over a year but still have both boards and would be willing to help test any progress you make.

Ps. will there be floppy support soon for this motherboard?
The chances are pretty low, unless you do it. :/

Unfortunately besides to the Wiki page [1] there is no note in the commit message, why the floppy drive might not work.
Thanks and good luck,
