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?

Well a gui's a pretty thing - but we're used to using SAM - so are used to
controlling a computer the real way :)

CLI would be fine for me :)
------------------

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.

Does it? How are they used?

I'm an XP user - so am one of the lucky ones already!

Hmmm - this could be one of mose useful pieces of recent software
since...errr... SimCoupe and... the SID C64 Music player software :)

(Not forgeting to mention all of Colins incredible hardware and software of
course - before he hits me! :)
