After all I've read about USB, I still don't find anyone saying that USB mass storage ( via USBASPI.SYS + DI1000DD.SYS ), and USB mouse ( via UHCI.EXE + OHCI.EXE ), seem to be totally uncompatible !?...
Is it true ? Is there a way to accomodate them ? Or is there another drivers solution
to manage both ?

MS-DOS6.xx and compatable USB support is for Mass Storage & Optical Devices, AFAIK no other USB devices are supported...........

I think you need to do more research as the following are the controller chips nothing to do with a specific device.
USB 1.x UHCI (Universal Host Controller Interface) Intel, VIA

USB 1.x OHCI (Open Host Controller Interface) Compaq, Microsoft and National Semiconductor

USB 2.x EHCI (Enhanced Host Controller Interface)

There are several variations of USBASPI.SYS, the most stable is the latest from Panasonic which is USB1.x and 2.x compatible.
