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 SimCoupé, and Win9x shouldn't be too difficult to add (I don't have it installed to try at the moment). SimCoupé also supports HDF hard disk images, which would also be nice to have in the stand-alone utility. Si
