Hi Angus

We can boot from a 512MB USB Disk on Key on our Thin Clients. We have no
Embedded DOM or CF inside the machine. We plug in the USB Disk on Key and
turn the machine on and it boots right from it. Let me ask my developer if
he did anything special. If you want you can contact me direct.

Cheers
