USB Floppy in DOS

Comment:
I'm trying to use the a USB DOS driver (duse.exe) to get a USB Floppy (3.5" 1.44mb) working on a DOS system (MS DOS 6.22). The drivers install ok and it recongnizes the USB port now (the disk drive light comes on when I plug it in. But I can't figure out how to actually use the drive. It doesn't seem to want to map it to any specific drive letter. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Is there really USB support for Dos 6.22? What program/driver and where? Thanks.

Yes USB is supported under DOS although you can't boot from the device unless your BIOS allows it. Alternatively, an IDE compact flash adapter with a card containing the necessary drivers etc will do for a fast solid state solution. Some bits of interest can be found at:
