Not so strange, really; I never submitted any patches to 2.0.36, as they were
still not acceptable to Alan WRT (mostly) the console stuff (VGA/TGA at the
same time). However, the 2.1.xx kernels have been updated with almost all the
appropriate patches from my 2.0.35-0.2, so SX floppy should work there.
