Dear core developers of Dosemu,

    If somebody of us would help many potentional visually impaired system 
administrators, please take some time to read my message.

    Dear core developers of Dosemu,

    Yours DOS emulator is The onlyone DOS emulator for Linux, which can be 
fully accessible by using screen readers for Linux, including Speakup, Yasr, 
Brltty and other console based screen readers. May be, that many of us know, 
that today's modern computers are OEM preinstalled with Windows XP or other 
operating systems from Microsoft. Those computers are using harddrive with 
several partitions. The one of those partitions, very often FAT32 partition 
is containing special diagnostics servicing software. Thank's to it 
software, users are able to perform The reinstall of The operating system, 
drivers and other crucial software components. Very probably many of us will 
know, that IBM, today's Lenovo company is using IBM rescue and recovery tool 
to perform system backup and restore. My question is.

    How complex would be to develope special program, which would enable 
visually impaired user of Dosemu to simulate The boot from DVD drive, which 
is containing first crucial boot CD with IBM rescue and recovery program. 
Dosemu would enable visually impaired users to use this tool for performing 
previously created backup. The IBM rescue and recovery is based on The PC 
Dos kernel. Unfortunately, it is not simply possible to use DOsemu, simply 
switch to The DVD drive with first bootable CD and execute some bath file or 
other executable file. Core developers of this tool are assuming, that first 
bootable CD will be used by normally booting by using BIOS. So crucial files 
are specially hydden and can not bbe executed from The Dosemu command 
prompt.

Would be this possible please?

By using GRML and USB flash disk, users would have a chance to have their 
harddrive empty, boot from USB flash disk which is containing GRML live 
system and thank's to Dosemu, users would try to run IBM rescue and recovery 
from The previously prepared backups.

If it is not possible, would somebody atleast tell me The programmers 
reasons why? Dosemu would enable visually impaired system administrators to 
use also other diagnostics and system rescue tools also from other company 
than Lenovo. What do You think about it?

Thank You very much for Yours answers.

With kindness regards.
