Just saying.

Oh believe me, I certainly was tearing my hair out during this whole ordeal. As for on-hardware analysis, it’s not like I can run windiff on a system whose WIN.COM is corrupt and unusable 😉

If this had happened to my old DOS machines back when I used them… I would have been pulling my hair out. Spare CF cards cost money. OS install disks cost money. Getting infected files off this device and onto my main machine for analysis would have required buying adapters too (if I had known how to do that).

Congrats for working this out after years of encountering it and thanks for the detailed article. Alas I’m a little disappointed that you didn’t do the bindiff on win9x or a dos-dervied system, for the extra trepidation factor (presumably NT is immune to it unless it does more than a DOS TSR).
