Nice.. I'm gonna grab one.

Alright, alright - since Bucko always seems to know... I got a question for ya. I recently swapped a disk drive for a gotek - and all was good in the world. Until I found an archive that ISN'T in .IMG format... its just the actual DOS files; in a /subdir... do you know how I can *create* an .IMG from some /subdir? 

I tried;
mksquashfs subdir/ image.img

But that didn't seem to w0rk... I used to just copy those files to a disk, but can't w/ a Gotek. Hmmmm.
