Hi Martin,

Despite all the M$ hype (BS!), booting from Magnetic media is still a 
lot faster than from any (consumer-priced!) digital media - see my 
posting earlier on os2hardware re the latest, greatest (anticipated 
initially at $30/GB) - but fantastic speeds on PCI-e!

With a (BIG-floppy formatted to 30MB image) 2GB USB-stick I managed to 
go from start of boot to Full-screen DFSee running in 22 seconds, about 
6 months ago.

Regards,
Mike
