USB and DOS – Does It Work?

Written by Richard Blanchard on July 20th, 2007. Posted in USB Hacks, USB Tutorials

USB on DOS, does it work? Sometimes. At least that’s the answer Ed gave me from BootDisk.com.

USB was never meant to run from DOS, yet there are situations you want a USB device to run from DOS. For those elite select few check out BootDisk to homebrew your own solution.

Unfortunately there isn’t one disc or zip file you can unpack, load and mount a USB device and for that reason BootDisk gives you several options to figure things out.

I would say BootDisk has the most complete collection of USB drivers around if you are one in need of USB on DOS.
