net-misc/ethflop: New package
ethflop is a DOS TSR that emulates a floppy disk drive.
The emulated (virtual) floppy disk is, in fact, stored on a Linux server as a
floppy image. All the communication between ethflop (the TSR)
and ethflopd (the Linux daemon) is exchanged over raw Ethernet. No need for
any network configuration - the DOS PC only needs to have some kind of
Ethernet adapter and a suitable packet driver. The Linux server and
the DOS PC must be connected do the common Ethernet segment (same LAN).
Closes: https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/13307
Package-Manager: Portage-2.3.80, Repoman-2.3.19
