In the several years that I worked on a Sparcstation I think I used the 
floppy no more than half a dozen times so only curiosity causes me to 
pursue this, and that you understand it :-)  Are you saying that there's 
not much reason to use floppies in ext2 format?  If so, you're right and I 
don't see the problem then.
