[labnetwork] Tylan / Tystar floppy emulator

[A. William (Bill) FLOUNDERS]

UC Berkeley has installed a floppy emulator drive for our Tycom controller.
I will have engineering team contact you off line.

If any one else with a legacy Tycom controller has defined
an upgrade path for the controller itself - I'd be most interested.
