SHSUCDX uses the following errorcodes. 0 has its uses as well, depending 
on situations.

        Uninstalled, help, option set
        1-32    Drive number of first installed drive (A=1)
        246     Invalid or unknown option
        247     Unable to uninstall
        248     Not enough memory
        249     No drives assigned (ie. not installed)
        250     No drive letters available
        251     Unit on driver does not exist
        252     Invalid or non-existant driver
        253     Already installed
        254     Unsupported version of DOS
        255     386 required

.. and I found differences in

(load + reserve drives, or clear drives, keeping driver loaded)
SHSUCDX /D9
SHSUCDX /D9

versus (uninstall, load + reserve)
SHSUCDX /U
SHSUCDX /D9

but that's offtopic.

Perhaps SRDUMMY from SRDISK ramdisk driver would work.
Georg Potthast's USBDISK should assign a driveletter to each found 
device after loading DOSUSB, I think. Thus, how many flash disks can you 
find? :)

You could start out with developing on MSDOS, see if that works.
Replace shell by 4DOS or FreeCOM, see if that works
Replace memory drivers, see if that works
Replace kernel, see if that works.

VirtualBox might require some additional settings for JEMM/EMM386. Or 
was it VirtualPC?

Show your config.sys/autoexec.bat :p

I'll get testing a bit later tonight.
