korte,

These are just some random links and text I have from some research I did a while ago.  The thing I was looking for was the ability to access a USB thumb drive as a regular drive letter from within DOS.  Never tried it, but some of these report success.

hth,

    I finally got it to work!! I have the following files on my boot disk:

    himem.sys
    ramrd.sys
    usbaspi.sys
    di1000dd.sys

    And my config.sys is as follows:

    dos=high, umb
    lastdrive=z
    device=himem.sys
    device=ramfd.sys
    devicehigh=usbaspi.sys /w /v
    devicehigh=di1000dd.sys /dG

    The file just above assigns my PNY 128MB thumb drive to the G: drive, and I can then access it through DOS. I don't have anything in my autoexec.bat file (don't really need it since I'm not accessing an external cd-rom.

You're welcome? ::)

Check the links I provided, some info links are there for, software giving providing information about connected devices, and drivers.  Try it.  The text was just from a .txt file I saved from a long time ago.
