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.
