BDOS-formatted CF cards and hard disks shouldn't be too bad, since each
record is just a floppy image.  The existing samdisk.c code that's been
around for a while should just need some offset tweaks for the most part.
Depends if everyone's happy with a command-line version, or whether a GUI
version is needed?

Working with real cards/disks does need platform-specific code to get at the
raw device though.  I've already done the NT/W2K/XP and Linux versions for
SimCoup�, and Win9x shouldn't be too difficult to add (I don't have it
installed to try at the moment).  SimCoup� also supports HDF hard disk
images, which would also be nice to have in the stand-alone utility.
