Nice to hear that. Which of the supported image formats did you use?

Choose ROM output format:
* Floppy bootable ROM Image (.zdsk)
* Binary ROM Image(.zrom)
* ...
* PXE bootstrap loader format ROM Image (.zpxe)
* ...

There is no such thing like a "Floppy bootable PXE bootstrap Image";
so does .zdsk support PXE, too?

Thanks, Thomas
