This allows programs with multiple disks to be imaged and then installed directly from the images instead of having to be converted back to a real disk and inserted one at a time into the computer when it needed the next disk. If there a program in dos (assuming you had enough memory to work with) that did the same type of thing you could install multi disk games and apps without messing with real disks or hacking the files to the HD or a CD. The process would allow you to put your originals in a vault and never use them or a real floppy disk again. I have not seen anything like this (there are programs that do virtual CD's in windows but copy protection defeats most of them). At least this is what I assume the original poster was thinking (this type of thing is implemented in most emulators for 8/16 bit machines)
