Hi Marv,
> I'm not sure what driver FreeDOS is using on the Gateway, but if I plug the > floppy into my HP Windows 10 laptop, it says it's a TEAC USB UF1000x USB FreeDOS does not use any USB driver by default, as far as I know. So you probably have USB storage device support in your BIOS and FreeDOS simply enjoys using the BIOS disk :-) In particular after booting from it, or when having it already connected during boot. Note that sizes other than 1.44 MB or low level formatting might not be working in your BIOS USB floppy support, but you can try.
