Rumor has it that dave04a at dunfield.com may have mentioned these words:
Santa might be a little late on this one, but he just might have something
popped into your private inbox here shortly... ;-)
Kewl. That's good to hear. ;-)
Thanks again, Dave!

A DOS-bootable
USB key would be really neat for IMD; but if not, if anyone
(like me) has Norton Ghost 2003, it will build a boot-floppy with both USB
& Firewire drivers.
Boot from floppy, IMD on either firewire drive, USB key or drive, make
images anywhere you want... Doesn't sound like a half-bad idear, eh? [1]
If you can give me a driver that will provide "generic" access to USB storage
devices under DOS, I would be very grateful, and would happily put togther a
boot setup that would make use of it - so far I have not found a way to access
a USB device of any kind under DOS (not that I've spent much time looking,
but I have had several "it would be nice" moments) One question:
Can IMD deal with FAT32 partitions? (As in, if DOS gives
it a
drive letter, can IMD write an image file to it?)
IMD just does INT 21 calls to open/read/write/close the image files. So it
should
work fine - I've used it under Win9x (fat 32) - it also works OK over a
network
