Chris,
Your description is very good. No one has said it better. Since I've just
purchased Image for Windows and am planning to make the process totally
accessible, I am looking for a serial PCI card I can use with my synthesizer.
However with regard your point:
"- The PC must be able to boot from a removable support other than
floppy: a USB key for instance."
Do you have a process for enabling this capability in the USB port? I can't
seem to get any autorun capability in any of my USB ports.
Dave

Hi Dwight,

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
