Hi,

Or, you may be able to access a USB memory stick (aka thumb
drive). There are two basic ways of doing that. One is if
your BIOS provides the correct support, FreeDOS may detect the
USB stick and be able to use it. (Note that this sort of
works on my Dell D600 laptop but is unstable). The other
way is to use usbaspi.sys and aspidisk.sys to attempt to detect
the USB stick from DOS. This works successfully on
the computers I've tried.
Where do these two come from? (usbaspi and aspidisk). Are they limited
to storage media?
BTW, I have at work a laptop PC with a USB keyboard that behaves quite
transparently, BIOS can acceed to it without problems (I know because I
use a BIOS password), and I suppose the same would happen to DOS (I
haven't been able to do tests yet).
As it is my first experience with USB keyboards, should I expect all USB
keyboards to behave transparently and go through BIOS? Any experiences?
