Hey there, welcome to the forum  I think it is my duty now to drop a "VICE sucks", just so that we live up to the expectations  Cleaning up the code would be very welcome though, happy to hear that progress is being made.
If I could have just one thing fixed, it would be the sound emulation. On a stock Plus/4 setting the sound frequency registers to the highest value ($03FE) should produce no sound. Several music players use this to turn channels off. In VICE however, this produces an audible, very high pitch tone, which is frankly painful to listen to. But I digress - I'm sure the audio emulation part is very far from anything to do with floppy stuff.
Some of the software the use the cable is mentioned above. The one other thing I wanted to add: not sure if it helps, but the cable has been added to the Hardware section: User Port Floppy Parallel Cable.
