[Trlog] Thumb drives, DOS and TR

[Pete Smith <n4zr@contesting.com>]

Stopped in at Staples today and bought a 128 MB Sony thumb drive, on sale 
for $14.98 after rebate.  Plugged into my Dell XP Home computer, booted up 
on a DOS 7 (Windows 98) floppy, and I now have the functional equivalent of 
a DOS partition, with the added  benefit of portability.

I realize that not all BIOSes will recognize all thumb drives, but this was 
what I'd call a low-cost experiment, and it works!

Thanks to everyone who encouraged me to pursue this.
