You betcha!  The most wonderful application for this I've ever seen is DFSEE
which can be completely researched at www.dfsee.com for you.  It can completely
service, clone, copy DOS/OS2/Windows/Linux hard disks and at least from even a
DOS boot it can completely service HPFS OS/2 stuff.  Log on and take a look at
what the author Jan van Wijk has created.  It is a treasure of a tool.

And individual can get a package of it for real cheap, as well as a limited use
edition for trial purposes.  At the $25 or so USD bucks for a licensed version
that has *ALL* the op system inter-related tools on it I'd think that ANYONE
would be willing to pay Jan for his work.

If you are in the USA, since Jan is in the Netherlands, you can make a deal
with BMT Micro to electronically transfer your little bitty payment for it.
Rather than a large buckload for an international certified check.  Or if you
are using a credit card that can internationally do it for you as far as I know
it won't be too bad.

You will be SHOCKED at what you can do with OS/2 stuff all the way from DOS to
OS/2 MPTS or JFS formatted disk stuff.  I use his tools all the time to back up
all my work even cross between HPFS SCSI stuff to USB plug in drive stuff!

The current level of his work is DFSEE 1.15 which works just fine here.
