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
