[Freedos-user] Information update about BIOS USB flash support

Hi, as we recently had some mails about which BIOS can do what with USB drives, I updated the FAQ a bit - somebody on DeskWork forum posted the URL of a Chip (German PC magazine) article about USB booting. Somewhat old (came along with a 10/2003 USB stick test) but still useful. Check the FAQ: ht
