That would work if I just wanted to access the files under dosemu, but
this is a verification test and I have to come as close as possible to
simulate what someone else will be using on a real Windows/DOS system.
As it works right now, they put a compact flash card into a usb card
reader and then run one of the ltools utilities (ldirdos.exe) to read
and copy files off of the ext2 filesystem on the compact flash to the
hard drive.
AFAICT, dosemu used to support this behaviour with the wholedisk option
on older versions, but that functionality has been removed in favour of
just accessing partitions directly.
