Hi, maybe an interesting site:
http://www.stefan2000.com/darkehorse/PC/DOS/Drivers/USB/
featuring:
- USB4DOS (1000 USD)
- USB in DOS: code fragments to get started on VERY simple USB operations
- Cypress USB Mass Storage Driver
- USB4Pas library for a bit of sniffing under DOS
- USB Mouse Driver: UHCI and OHCI variants
- USB CD ROM Driver
- USB drivers for Iomega drives

No idea which of those work and how good. Might be interesting.

Found it linked from Flox' page:
http://stud3.tuwien.ac.at/~e0225895/drdos/drfaq.htm
Interesting there: SMARTDRV only caches int 25/26 and CD-ROM starting
with MS DOS 6.20 (SMARTDRV < 4.2 of older MS DOS versions (4.01-6.0?)
only caches int 13 BIOS disk access, no LBA support). NWCACHE only
seems to cache int 13, too (no CD-ROM or int 25/26: the latter
might make a difference if you use NETWORKED but INT 25/26 BASED
drives???). Only the DRFAT32 driver supports LBA, and is more or
less a redirector driver (so FAT32 support is not deeply embedded
into the kernel).

Flox also has a page about DR DOS / OpenDOS license:
http://stud3.tuwien.ac.at/~e0225895/drdos/drdown.htm#license
it is more or less "shareware unless you are an academic / charity /
religion kind of user". And you can only spread patches, but not
the patched programs. I think OpenDOS uses binary patches for easier
installation!?


Eric.
