This is the first time I've posted the ImageDisk one,
but I've been using variations of this disk internally for
a while (I've made a CD with about a dozen really useful
bootable floppy images to pick from when it boots).

I've also posted a raw binary floppy image
(suitable for
XDISK, Winimage etc.) to create a 1.44M bootable
ImageDisk floppy that:
- Has USB mass-storage and CD/CVD support.
- Allows you to set a RAMdisk size when it boots, and
runs from the RAMdisk after boot - so you can boot
from a floppy and then read/write images to and from
the RAMdisk (and USB mass storage).
- Has tools to move files to/from the RAMdisk via:
Network** (FTP, TFTP, DDLINK)
Serial or LPT (DDLINK, XMODEM)
**Over 100 network drivers are on the disk.
- Can be used for a bootable CD/DVD.
This might be useful to anyone who doesn't want to
dedicate a DOS partition.
Hey, that's a damn fine idea!
