  • USB on pure DOS (6.22)

    From vjp2.at@at.BioStrategist.dot.dot.co@21:1/5 to All on Mon Jun 22 18:46:50 2020
    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.

    On DOS I have a USB stick working like a hard drive, or a floppy drive, depending on BIOS support.

    Your goal is not clear. What do you want.

    Use Google Translate to translate Motto Hairu documentation to English.

    What drivers do I need on DOS for USB? just usbaspi.sys?

    Ok, but has anyone done this?

    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

    Yes. I used to have a DOS boot disk for booting, and then install from
    CD; IIRC W98 tried a heap of CD driver; aha!
