Lets hope that they have this floppy drive all set up for use with
dump(8).  It could be pretty useful for backing up projects that
don't change lotsa stuff (esp. if you could filter out .o and binary files).
The floppy would be nice for daily level 2 (or whatever) and the
weekly level 1 or monthly level 0 (or however you did it) could be
appended to the end of an optical disk...

Of course, 20Mb in a floppy would have been much better for this and
many other things, but that idea must be a bit before its time.  Sigh!
