I know what matters is whether or not the computer in question can boot from USB devices. Look in the machine's BIOS settings. I have a 1GB stick with U3 on it, but if I had a larger stick without any software I could just copy my emulator hard drive to it. The emulator software comes with that ability, and the ability to go the other way around :-) On Nov 28, 2007, at 3:39 PM, Sape Mullender wrote: > Any requirements on those sticks other than size?
