No; and in any case, had the capability existed it would be illegal to use it in that way, since it was a strictly single-user product with one copy for use with one machine only.

Instead, that's what the corporate versions of the Ghost product is and always has been for (since the 1990s), to distribute images to hundreds and even thousands of machines over networks. And indeed, the current version - now sold as Ghost Solution Suite 2.5 - handles the different hardware issue as well.
