RE: [Trlog] Any interest in Bootable MS-DOS CD's?

Hypothetically, my Dell Dimension 2400 has USB 2.0.  Behavior is much 
faster than Riki reports, but there is a lag in responses that require 
"disk" access, like looking up callsigns in a master data file as they are 
entered.  It is not show-stopping, but it is noticeable.  I wonder if 
SMARTDRV would be any help.
