   I couldn't get anything to touch the partimage.   
   I tried Archive Manager, but it was not interested.   
      
   When the partimage is decompressed, like a TAR, you can   
   see the datablocks in there with your hex editor. It really   
   should share some characteristics with dynamic VHD, VDI and   
   so on. I haven't found a way to mount one. But maybe I'm not   
   looking hard enough.
