I do not have plans for removing any other drivers, though am open to suggestions. Some possibilities include: - tty drivers that haven't been updated to new tty and have been disconnected from the build since 8.0 including digi(4) and cy(4). I know Bruce has patches for sio(4) that I just haven't merged, so I'm inclined to leave sio(4), but the other disconnected drivers are candidates I think. - Older storage adapters: - aha (ISA) - ahb (EISA) - adv (ISA / EISA / PCI) - adw (PCI)? - bt (ISA / EISA / PCI) - aic (ISA / PCCard) - ct (ISA / CBUS) - dpt (ISA / EISA / PCI) - ncv (PCCard / PCI) - nsp (PCCard) - stg (ISA / PCCard / PCI) (Note: some of these are PC-98 related and might remove too much of the PC-98 ecosystem if removed?) - mse(4) (ISA-only non-PS-2, non-serial mouse) - joy(4) (ISA-only, was on various Sound Cards, etc., but I haven't seen a "game port" on a modern box in a long while) -- John Baldwin
