Search Google for "dos usb duse" or go to http://www.stefan2000.com/darkehorse/PC/DOS/Drivers/USB/ and download DUSE 4.4, It's basiclly a generic USB driver for DOS and supports USB2, also works with USB CD-ROMS. You may have to tinker around with the settings, but it worked OK for me.

Make a boot disk and add duse.exe and duseldr.com to it. Read the PDF file for help.

Good luck

James

You should probably have a local guru (with DOS experience) do this for you!
You can use - A DOS USB boot disk
Heres how:
(1) http://www.bootdisk.com/bootdisk.htm - download thu MSDOS 6.22 boot image
(1a) extract it to a floppy - you will need to remove several files to make room for the USB driver and edit a few other files
(1b) Remove the following files from the disk:
attrib.exe, deltree.exe, qbasic.exe share.exe, setver.exe restore.exe, tree.exe,
cd1.sys, cd2.sys, cd3.sys, cd4.sys

(2) ftp://ftp.dars.com.ru/support/dos_usb/mhairudos.zip - download the DOS USB driver
(2a) load di1000dd.sys and usbaspi.sys to the disk from mhairudos.zip
(2b) load Notepad and open CONFIG.SYS, change it to read:
DEVICE=HIMEM.SYS /testmem:off
FILES=30
BUFFERS=20
devicehigh=USBASPI.SYS /w /v
devicehigh=DI1000DD.SYS
LASTDRIVE=Z
(2c) Save it
(2d) open AUTOEXEC.BAT and delete its contents

(3) REBOOT, BOOT from drive A
(3a) follow onscreen instructions

NOTE: the drivers dont seem to work with VIA USB chipsets but I have had success with many other chipsets; also if the system is a laptop and the USB is on a PCMCIA card you may need DOS drivers for the PCM bus/controller.

Best of luck, Merry Christmas
