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.
