Hi Liam,
I have a question about this advice?
granted, I have made no secret of my using, having specific computers
built to construct DOS, rather than simply choosing older hardware.
Perhaps that care makes a difference.
However, I am, right now, using full DOS booted from my harddrive typing
with a USB keyboard. I have experienced no problems, am not even running
an extra USB driver yet, its simply done from the bios.
Is there a pattern others should seek in hardware, companies, motherboards
and the like that can lead to comparative results for them?
Its more of an intellectual question to ask, I realize I take greater care
than many here with my hardware choices.
Best,
Karen

No, it won't.
But in my limited testing, what I found that might is this:
Install DOS onto a USB key, and boot from that, not from a HDD partition.
On some firmware, this makes the BIOS do lots of USB handling and
emulation and things work better.
