Jordan, pay attention. There's going to be a quiz. That was using
DFSEE to clone, over a USB link, while booted from a DOS floppy.

At this time I am formating a USB drive, as HPFS, using PM6, while
booted from C:\DOS. Very slow.

Sandy's USB wireless link is very slow.

Are we picking up a pattern here? Is USB maybe not the great
replacement for all other things it is advertised as?

And, there you go again. Click reply, change the subject and ignore
