Oh ... I see where you are going. Only thing is that I don't have my DOC plugged into *any* IDE port. It's in a socket in the motherboard and when booted from a hard disk, it appears as a secondary drive - from MS-DOG. It isn't visible from Linux at all. So, any idea how I can write an lzdsk image to the first sector of the disk using a MS-DOG utility? Maybe a job for RAWRITE.EXE?
