Ta, will take a look!
Ultimately I'd like something that sat on the network and could be controlled
remotely (and be able to say FTP or HTTP or NFS or SMB transfer data to a
remote box holding disk images) - but that's a colossal amount of work to get
going under DOS! Serial port control is a little easier though, and at least
means the machine with the drives in doesn't need its own keyboard / display.
Or I could just get a KVM, but that's no fun :-)

I didn't see the original message - but if you want to work on ImageDisk, why
not use the toolset that ImageDisk was developed using - The PC edition of my
own DDS Micro-C compiler, available free from my commercial website
(www.dunfield.com). What's the state of play regarding DOS C
compilers? I might have a need
to do some DOS-based C development work - are there any good-but-free
DOS compilers about?
Forgot to say thanks to everyone for their thoughts - I think
Turbo C's
probably the way to go then, and from memory it'll do nice stuff like inline
assembler too...
(I want to try to put a serial console onto Dave Dunfield's Imagedisk code so
I can control it from a remote box and not need a screen/keyboard on the
Imagedisk machine. Ideally Ethernet and telnet would be the way to go, but I
think asking something like that of my brain is too much to expect :-)
