Trust me, it works. I've partitioned many USB disks from DOS, though I normally use Ranish Partition Manager instead of FDISK (it's MUCH easier to use, and will also format the partitions). I know MS FDISK will crash in some cases with USBDRIVE, but that's actually a bug in MS FDISK that doesn't understand removable hard drives. For example, if you have USBDRIVE configured for 3 INT 13h Disk Numbers (controlled with the /Disks:# option), but only have 1 USB disk actually plugged in, MS FDISK will crash. If you have USBDRIVE configured for the same number of disks that are actually plugged in, MS FDISK works OK. I don't think FreeDOS FDISK has this problem, and I know Ranish works OK. > ... > My only way of trying UHCI driver is by running inside VMware, > and then your driver doesn't seem to succeed due to some IRQ issue. > Might be a VM bug for that matter. Probably. USB under VM's is generally flaky. Also, USB support under VM's (at least correctly designed VM's) shouldn't really be necessary, anyway. The "important" USB devices (mice, keyboards, disks, network cards) should be emulated by the VM at some other level already (mice and keyboards should be emulated as PS2 devices, disks should appear as some sort of network drive or somehow mounted directly, network devices should be emulated as some sort of "generic" network card like an NE2000). At least in theory, USB joysticks should be emulated as standard game port joysticks as well, though I don't know if any VM's actually emulate joysticks. >From a practical perspective, DOS USB support is more applicable to "real" >hardware than virtualized. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow!
