It seems to me it should be possible to do. The only added complexity over booting DOS from a hard disk should be in interpreting the Coherent filesystem, which I assume is somewhat more complex. I will summarize any replies I get. By the way, does anyone from Mark Williams read netnews? Bob Eby {mhtsa|ihnp4|allegra}!pegasus!eby
