Plug in the USB drive.ã3. Power on the PC.ã4. Mine has a power on menu that you can get in to and I have to tell it toãboot from the hard drive - NOT the USB drive.ã5. FreeDOS boots up normally.ã6. Now, my USB drive is on D: (and E: and F: if you have multiple partitions).ããOf course, to remove the USB drive, you need to power off the computer.ããI don't believe FreeDOS supports hot mounting of USB drives.ããã...

Your best bet is really FreeDOS, not MS-DOS if you want to run DOS onã Tr> more modern hardware.ããI've had some luck recently using MS-DOS 7.1. FreeDOS does have some game compatibility issues (relatively few, FWIW) which makes me still prefer MS-DOS. That said, MS-DOS 7.1 can be yanked out of Win98SE install media, and it's basically MS-DOS 6.22 with a few extras, in particular FAT32 support.ãã--- Mystic BBS v1.12 A49 2023/02/26 (Linux/64)ã * Origin: m O N T E R E Y b B S . c O Mã

Also, to use USB you'll need a driver or bump up to FreeDOS, I *think* it has a driver.ããIf you can't find one, I know theres a DOS USB driver @ 2oFB... search function is your friend.

Go on youtube and look up philscomputerlab dos 7.1 and you can see how to extract and install it.ããIt's 100% compatible with everything except utilities that expect FAT16.

I'll probably install itãon another hard disk to see what FREEDOS can do for me. On MSDOS, it's versionã6.22, and it's mainly for playing games and launching a few applications. Andãso the USB would be used to transfer large files. And also to say me: "ok, Iãmanaged to get the USB support workingunder MSDOS. Because finally I found itãsimpler to create a local FTP and retrieve files that way on my MSDOS machine.ããAnyway, thanks for the tip! :0)ãRegards,ã---ã þ Synchronet þ Diamond Mine Online BBS - bbs.dmine.net:24 - Fredericksburg, VA USAã
