Is the vn device able to read 4.3G files and treat them like a disk?  I
know we use it for building floppies and the like, but a 4.3G disk image
from an unnamed laptop is what I have a need to access...  Will it read the
mbr and give me the slices that were there when I had the bits on a disk
rather than a file residing in the file system?

Thanks much...

Warner
