why not put it on a cd? Just stick a generic cd-rom driver on there, and get the autoexec/config file on the bootdisk to load it.

You don't need a CD-RW to create it and test it... but to go to details would take too much space and effort.

But indeed nice idea... k:


As for floppy, does any1 uses them anymore? :blink:
