#7 Windows version or port of ms-sys
It would be nice to have a version or a Win32 port of ms-sys so it can run in Windows.
The reason for that is there are so many USB flash drives nowadays. If we can make them DOS bootable in Windows by simply running
msys PhysicalDrive#|DriveLetter DOSFilePath
that would be great!
As I no longer work in or for the Windows environment myself I assign a rather low priority to this feature request. I will not be the one who implement or test this feature, but any patches will be welcome!
I don't know if it would be possible to compile ms-sys with MinGW or Cygwin and if that would require any slight modifications of the code. I suppose that the big difference is the lack of a /dev filesystem in Windows.
If any major code changes would be necessary a port would be needed which would mean an entire new project rather than a new feature in ms-sys.
