Does anyone have any experience with the GoTEK SFR1M44-U100 floppy drive
emulator that reads ""images from a USB flash drive?
Good?
Bad?
Indifferent?
Run for the hills?

OK, I guess I'll be the one to start things going on the COFF list.
What other features, ideas etc. were available in other operating
systems which Unix should have picked up but didn't?
[ Yes, I know, it's on-topic for TUHS but I doubt it will be for long! ]

Today I learned that File Transfer Protocol supports transferring data
between two remote systems without passing the data through a
controlling host.
The end of § 2.3, The FTP Model, of RFC 959, File Transfer Protocol,
states the following:
"""
In another situation a user might wish to transfer files between two
hosts, neither of which is a local host. The user sets up control
connections to the two servers and then arranges for a data connection
between them. In this manner, control information is passed to the
user-PI but data is transferred between the server data transfer
processes. Following is a model of this server-server interaction.
Control ------------ Control
---------->| User-FTP |<-----------
| | User-PI | |
| | "C" | |
V ------------ V
-------------- --------------
| Server-FTP | Data Connection | Server-FTP |
| "A" |<---------------------->| "B" |
-------------- Port (A) Port (B) --------------
"""
I also learned that FTP uses (a subset of) the Telnet protocol for it's
control connection. Yet another reason to dislike it. (I strongly
prefer 8-bit clean connections and dislike things that need special
handling.)

Hi all. The new COFF mailing list is open & has about twenty subscribers. Feel free to use it!
