IDE workstations and the odd aic7xxx should work just fine.
Network is limited to the eepro100 and a few ne2000 clones I believe.

Maybe using the LBT 2.0 [1](Linuxcare Bootable Toolbox) which has XFS 
support in combination with xfsdump might do the trick as well but you 
would need to run lilo afterwards. Although it is nothing a chroot 
/mnt/somedrive lilo won't correct.

It's a standalone workspace. Hmmmm. include partimage onto the LBT... 
Martin? Is there space enough left on the LBT disc?

The LBT already has network, lot's of drivers, XFS support, and a 
browser..err xfsdump and restore.
It seems to be perfectly suited for this type of operation
