I understand that the T22 can boot from a USB floppy. How about from a USB key formatted as a bootable device (e.g., Acronis Trueimage will set up a USB key as a boot "disk")? If so, how do I set it up? I tried creating an Acronis bootable media on a USB key, but the T22 ignores it on bootup.
Thanks

Can T22 boot from USB key?
Can T22 boot from USB key?

The T2x series can boot from USB keys. I do it on a T20 with a key formatted for DOS.
However, I've never been able to get an Acronis-made USB key to be bootable on any of my computers (T20, T30, T42p). The keys seem to be created OK, using FAT for formatting, but don't boot.
Haven't tried the very latest build yet (build 826 I think).

Right, it's Linux based. I've never made a Linux boot USB key other than the Acronis one (which doesn't work for me), but some people say that it does work. Check the Acronis support forum for some threads relating to this. Not many answers though. At least not yet.
