Salutations El Repo,

RHEL8 removed support for legacy floppy drives [0].

I'd like to request that you all build the floppy module for RHEL8 and
RHEL9, please.

Thanks in advance!

Built and released to the main repository:

kmod-floppy-0.0-1.el9_1.elrepo.x86_64.rpm

Built against RHEL 9.1 kernel. Not backward compatible.

It looks like kmod-floppy for el8 fails to build and so will not be published. Note that kernel-ml has the floppy module enabled for both el8 and el9.
