Yes, I definitely could find one. However, in order to be fully
autonomous, even when I need to restore a PC which refuses to start up,
I need the following hardware:
- The PC should have a true serial port. I could not figure out
how to work with an emulated serial port under DOS, such as USB<->RS232
cables.
- The PC must be able to boot from a removable support other
than floppy: a USB key for instance.
- An old Braille display with serial connection and its
associated screen reader.
Then, I'm using Image For Windows by Terabyte Unlimited and/or its
associated program Image For Dos. I created a bootable USB key starting
DOS and I placed my Braille display screen reader and Image For DOS on
it.
The software cost me around $50 but I really don't regret having spent
such an amount of money since it's really good for what I need to do.
For more information, please have a look at

I confess it's a little bit complicated but definitely feasible. HTH,
Have a nice day. Chris
