To one and all, Was wondering if anyone has found any drivers that you can load into config.sys that let you then access USB devices in a pure dos environment??? The same with regard to firewire devices???
I am putting together my new system, BUT have a physical device problem - have 2 hard drives to connect to my primary IDE control and cd-burner and DVD to connect to secondary IDE control. Have a 250 Meg zip drive but it is a USB drive. Since I sometimes boot up into a pure Dos environment (though getting to be much less these days than in the past), was wondering if anyone has found a way of accessing USB and/or firewire devices in a pure Dos environment. Since am going to dual-boot the new system with Win98SE and Win2K pro, the issue may be totally moot, but still have occationally needed to boot to pure Dos in the past and needed to access my Zip drive to get files, but it was a IDE device that was being used. With the new USB Zip drive, have not found a way of doing it. Any answers on how to do, if possible??? Ralph ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
