On USB with DOS, I can read and write a USB stick with FAT32 file system, but it is treated as a fixed disk. USB stick must be in the port to be recognized, and if I remove and replace a USB stick, the new one won't be recognized. This is through the BIOS/UEFI rather than an add-on DOS driver.
On older computer that couldn't boot from USB on its own, it booted with PLoP, but if it was a DOS (I only tried FreeDOS, never any other DOS on USB), it was read-only after boot. That is a limitation of PLoP's DOS USB support. I did try other DOS USB drivers, but no success, am not inclined to venture further. If I needed a DOS for professional purposes, I'd go with FreeDOS, have long given up on MS-DOS (6.22) and DR-DOS (7.03).
