Hi Bob:
This isn't a DOS driver issue...it's a BIOS issue. If the BIOS
is smart enough, the BIOS boots from the USB stick and
mounts it as C:. DOS doesn't know anything except the
BIOS interface and thinks it's on a hard drive at C:!
You have to be careful if the USB stick is over 2GBytes in
size...use a new version of DOS. Otherwise, DOS thinks
it's running from a hard disk. NOTE: This works on at
least two of my computers. There are certainly BIOS's
that won't boot USB.
73,
Mark
