Yes, and depending on the threat model this was about 5-6 on the last I've last sent. To get around that, you either modify the hard drive's on board controller, or you build a CPU emulator. There is one that's freely available called Bochs which will do this. They can happily boot from their floppy and talk directly to your virtual "hardware" and you still get through.
How do you propose to start this hardware emulator when it's boot file isn't on their boot floppy? And you think customs agents using software and TEMPEST signature scanning is out in the woods.... ____________________________________________________________________ The seeker is a finder.
