You can download the drivers from > http://bretjohnson.us and try them out. My USB host controllers are now USB 2.0 and 3.0, not sure of brand or backward compatibility with USB v1. First concern is making FreeDOS bootable, preferably with Syslinux. SYS.COM didn't work, even made the FAT32 file system unreadable. I need to save the first MB by dd from FreeBSD so as to be able to dd back in case the file system is messed up.
