You don't say whether you want to run FreeDOS on the bare metal or in a VM.
My suggestion would be that if you already have Windows on your laptop it's
quite easy to
run FreeDOS in a VM, then you can connect the USB port using Windows and set it
up as
COMx inside the VM, then you don't need to worry about DOS drivers for USB.
If you are writing your own application I suggest using a FOSSIL driver like
BNU inside
the FreeDOS environment rather than re-inventing the wheel of interrupt-driven
communications.

Subject: [Freedos-user] Serial port or USB/PCMCIA modem support
Hi, All.
I have a laptop on which I would like to install Free DOS. I am,
however, in some difficulty. The laptop has only one serial port built in. I
am in need of two such ports. The unit has a USB port and several PCMCIA
slots, but no other serial port. If I may ask, is there any external
hardware which provides a serial port that I could use? Alternatively, does
FreeDOS support any PCMCIA or USB modems?
Thanks.
