Hi All,
I can make my HDD works by this driver.
I translate the README.TXT of this driver.
Please refer #10959 also.

----------
"motto hairu" DOS Driver
----------

This driver enables "motto hairu" USB interface on DOS.
IEEE1394 interface can not be used on DOS.

There are three drivers as DOS Driver.

USBASPI.SYS : USB1.1 mode ASPI Manager
RAMFD.SYS : RAM DISK driver for USB floppy, if you have only single USB port and access both.
Di1000dd.SYS : ASPI HDD driver

1. If you does not have USB floppy

Copy USBASPI.SYS and Di1000dd.SYS files and
add following 2 lines to config.sys on the boot disk.

device=USBASPI.SYS
device=Di1000dd.SYS

After that, connect "motto hairu" to USB port, then set this disk to FDD, and
power-on PC.


2. If you use USB floppy

Copy USBASPI.SYS, Di1000dd.SYS and RAMFD.SYS files and
add following 3 lines to config.sys on the boot disk.

device=RAMFD.SYS
device=USBASPI.SYS /W    --- Use /R option, if you have multiple USB ports
device=Di1000dd.SYS

And confirm
device=himem.sys
is exist in config.sys.
If you don't have, add following 4 lines.

device=himem.sys
device=RAMFD.SYS
device=USBASPI.SYS /W
device=Di1000dd.SYS

When power-on, during booting, contents of FD is copied to RAM disk, then,
when the copy is completed, following message will appear.

===============================================
=== Connect the target device to USB port. ===
=== Press [ENTER} to continue. ===
===============================================

Then, disconnect USB floppy from USB port and connect "motto hairu" to USB port and
press [ENTER] key.
Boot will continue from RAM disk.

NOTE:
1) After changing DOS mode with rebooting Windows, it can not work.
You must power off once.

2) Option settings

USBASPI.SYS has following options.

/R : Access also USB FDD.
: RAMFD.SYS may be needed in some cases.

/W : Prompt following message for swapping floppy and device, if you need to boot from
USB floppy and have only one USB port

===============================================
=== Connect the target device to USB port. ===
   === Press [ENTER} to continue. ===
===============================================

/M=xx : OHCI memory map address
As default, it will use unused address between D0000h and DFFFFFh.
Ex) /M=D4 : Use D4000h

/P=xxx0 : UHCI I/O address
Specify if BIOS does not assign I/O Port Address of the controller.
/V : Shows various information.

3) In case of OHCI, EMM386.EXE is not recommended.
  If you use it, don't use UMB or specify X=D000-DFFF to keep extended ROM space.
4) In some PC, UHCI's I/O port is not assigned by BIOS.
In this case, specify I/O port by /P option.

Appendix:About OHCI and UHCI
There are two kind of USB host controller chip spec.
Universal Host Controller Interface = UHCI
Open Host Controller Interface = OHCI

We can check which is used by following procedure.
1. Click [Start] -> [Setting(S)] -> [Control Panel(C)].
2. Double click [System] icon.
3. Click [Device Manager] tab.
4. Double click [Universal Serial Bus Controller].

************* Universal Host Controller

************* Open Host Controller

Thank you. This did help, but I'm still half way to getting my external USB hard drive to be seen in ghost.
