I have a set of USB DOS files. USBASPI.SYS seems the likeliest choice. I also have stuff calling itself USTORAGE RAMFD DI100DD WINENCRYPT and motto hairu.
Might someone give me a clue how to approach this? I added a USB card to a 1995 machine a few years back, plus I have triple boot on a 2007 machine which includes a DOS partition in addition to Windows and Linux. I am trying to install both (DOS USB) at the same time.

Ok, but has anyone done this?

Miracle-driver from Japan does the unthinkable

The driver switches you can use are: device=(path)\USBASPI.SYS [/e]
[/o] [/u] [/w] [/v] [/l[=n]] [/f] /r] [/slow] [/nocbc] [/norst]
[/noprt]
The driver scans all three USB controller specs by default, but you
can limit which controllers are enabled using these switches:
/e EHCI spec (USB 2.0)
/o OHCI spec (newer USB 1.x)
/u UHCI spec (older USB 1.x)
And so far I learned what these switches mean:
/w Wait, displays text message for attaching or swapping USB
devices /v Verbose, shows status messages - recommended
/l[=n] LUN, specifies highest LUN # to be attached to
device ID (default=0)
Example config.sys and autoexec.bat files on a DOS
Bootdisk with USB support for an USB CD- (ROM/R/RW) or Harddisk
looks like this:
[config.sys]
DOS=HIGH,UMB
lastdrive=Z
device=HIMEM.SYS
REM The following line loads the universal USB-controller driver
devicehigh=USBASPI.SYS /v /w /e
REM the following is an ASPI mass storage driver for USB-connected
HDs and Compactflash memory cards
devicehigh=DI1000DD.SYS
REM The following one loads CD-ROM driver
devicehigh=USBCD.SYS /d:USBCD001
[autoexec.bat]
@echo off
REM the following line adds a drive letter to the USB CD-(ROM/R/RW)
mounted
LH MSCDEX /d:USBCD001
