> DOS and USB doesnt mix that well somehow :) Where did you pick this theorem ??? And why the ":)" AKA "happy" smilie ???
Of course USB can work well on DOS. That it doesn't is because cca 2 people are caring for now (+ cca 3 more in the past) and every of them is / was brewing his own closed source thing rather than cooperating. Also, "hot-plug" is no problem, just the fault of DOS disallowing to reevalutate partitionning + size of so-called "fixed disks" (letter "C" and above) has to be fixed :-) > So any 386/486 is ment for the garbage dump nowadays NO. > instead of doing interesting stuff on it?
