Guess I'll be keeping my socket AM2+ board around indefinitely, then! I just tossed a Phenom into it to buy it some relevance as the AthlonX2 which it held for the last decade was feeling a bit old, but I'm considering going back just for thermal reasons -- my god, Phenoms run hot.
That machine has all my floppy, cdrom, and internal Zip drives in it right now. I could stand to upgrade it to SSD though; the old 120GB is getting noisy and I suspect the bearings are shot.

Yeah, I use some even older athlon K75 for this.
I do actually wonder if there's any sort of EFI support for floppies.

What a mess. Likely just works on netbsd, but I hate this sort of thing.
