That's what I meant. Most likely any MB built in the last 10 years will
work just fine.

Nope. Since the same IO routines are used for booting as for dumping, the
same rules apply.

That's up to you. They can all be logicals if that's what you prefer.

This is not a problem. The defects I know of have workarounds. If you
are backing up to a hard drive, you will need to keep the DAT files under
2GB regardless of the partition size, but that's an compuatational
problem. I have mostly working code to automate the .bst generation.

Another OS/2 old wives tale.

BA2K can not recreate partitions.
Have a good trip,
