You can get access to a USB flash drive from a DOS boot floppy if you
load the drivers for it.

In your DOS config.sys file you need these lines

device=usbaspi.sys /w /v
device=di1000dd.sys
[]
Archive files that contain the drivers:

usb_dos_drivers.zip
http://www.toolsthatwork.com/downloa...os_drivers.zip

hd352u_dos.zip (The page is in Japanese but the file nanes are in
English.)
http://www.driver.novac.co.jp/driver...d352u_drv.html

Thanks: sounds as if it might be useful. A couple of questions:

1. Is this fairly generic (likely to work with a lot of pen drives)?

2. I noticed among the Japanese, "USB 2.0" - will it stil work with USB 1.1?

Thanks a lot.

J. P. Gilliver:

As far as I know (Three different USB Flash "Pen" drives) it does work
with most flash drives. There might be a problem with drives larger
than 2 GiG since DOS had problems with drives over that size.

I HAVE used these drives on both USB 1 And USB 2 hardware.
