There are many USB drivers for DOS. You either boot USB or you have USB legacy support in BIOS or you boot from non-USB and load a DOS USB driver, the panasonic one works best for me. All infos here: http://www.unet.univie.ac.at/~a0503736/php/drdoswiki/index.php?n=Main.USB For network drivers read here http://www.unet.univie.ac.at/~a0503736/php/drdoswiki/index.php?n=Main.PacketDriver also try netbootdisk.
