Well, he could also just buy a very cheap (old) DOS-based PC and that
will work just fine for CopyQM.
Anyway, I am kind of interested in what you've done to the disk images.
If you can somehow find an XP-compatible disk image copier, then I think
this would be worthwhile and I would consider replacing the old CopyQM
disk images on my site. Until then, I'll stick with the old images and
CopyQM.
