Doing a from-scratch rewrite of floppy.c only supporting new
hardware and no obscure formats ("newfloppy.c") would be an excellent
newbie project imho. This means for someone who is still pretty
new, but wants to get their fingers wet with more complicated changes.
Then over time (old-)floppy.c could be phased out.
If anybody is interested...? (non newbies would be welcome too of course)
