There are several ways folks are getting their USB CDroms, Hard Drives, and other drives to work in DOS. One is using what's known as DUSE driver system. The second method is using what looks somewhat like standard CDrom driver files and a USB driver. Both methods appear to require loading an usbaspiX.sys file first in config.sys in most cases. The third method is a bootdisk from a USB vendor. Method 4 is getting good reviews also.
METHOD 1 - The DUSE System
Example 1 Using DUSE
[config.sys]
device=a:\himem.sys
devicehigh=a:\emm386.exe
device=a:\usbaspi.sys
dos=high,umb
Note: You can find a usbspi.sys on the internet or use on of the five different versions I've found in the Download Files section at the bottom of the page
[autoexec.bat]
@echo off
duseldr a:\duse.exe
MSCDEX /D:USBCDROM /S /M:15 /V
Example 2 Using DUSE
[config.sys]
device=a:\himem.sys
DEVICE=a:\duse.exe
[autoexec.bat]
MSCDEX /D:USBCDROM /S /M:15 /V
METHOD 2 - The usbaspi.sys/usbcd.sys System - Example 1

this is really easy to follow instructions, really good for people who are not so technically gifted! does this site do promotional usb sticks?
Hey very nice blog!! Man .. Beautiful .. Amazing .. I will bookmark your blog and take the feeds also…
It's a great Festival, and you are fully deserved of being there with you're ambitious and talented. And..anyhow, I hope we'll have more CONS in Orlando...It's fun!novelty USB Sticks & Flash drives
Hi all,
DOS-USB provides a software layer with an URB programming interface for USB device drivers and application programs. USB cd-writer or hard disk works wonders as long as your operating system is in good shape. But if someday the system stops booting, you are lost. Thanks......
this is really useful, I didn't think you could use promotional usb sticks with DOS.
Cheers.
