Are there any downloadable utilities which will copy bootable diskettes to a hard drive and later create new diskettes? Preferably free utilities. I am broke right now.

Aside from Windows startup diskettes, several of my applications create bootable rescue diskettes. I would like to backup all my bootable diskettes to a CD.

I also intend to create a Cd which archives all the DOS & Win3.x software I have. It seems a shame to just trash all those diskettes.

BTW: Considering the lack of modern programming tools, some of the old DOS software was incredible.

The better DOS software requires obsolete (but pretty good) ISA Graphics Controllers. I have not had a Motherboard with an ISA slot for a few years now. Many excellent applications will not run using more than 16 colors on a modern system. I suspect that most DOS software will not run at all on soon to be built systems.

I might buy or build a system with an ISA-Slot motherboard and play with some of the old DOS software. Has anybody been doing this? I think such motherboards are still available.
