Hi rminajew,

There appears to be a few links here.

I think the dues option from http://www.stefan2000.com/darkehorse/PC/DOS/Drivers/USB/ appears to do what you want.

Let me know if it works. Would be useful in my job. ;-)

Good Luck!

InteraX, what buttons are you pressing?  You've merged my link into yours!
Callandor,

Copied it off the link page I put on the first post. I was using an old version of quick post which wasn't showing new posts, only the orriginal post. Updated and saw you had already posted the link. DOH!
Better update that QP, quick! ;-)

I will try out your suggestins and let you know soon. Thanx to all.

It works with WINXP, the instrucrtions are very clear. I could not get it to work properly with WIN98 SE, my USB pen drive would not load up properly but when removed a message insicating it was removed popped up onthe screen. I am using a 64MB DELL USB PEN DRIVE.

I really want to see if this will work with DOS 6.22 as that is the reason behind me trying this. I will post my finsing by the end of the day and award the points.

Thank you for the link Callandor.
I was able to successfully boot a Win98 floppy with Iomega drivers that let me access a USB hard disk, although only at USB1.1 and not USB2.0 speeds.
Have you tried the Cypress drivers? They claim to support USB2.0 and pen drives.
That is the only thing I have beenusing and it does not seem to work under WIN98 with that particular pen drive.
