I've forgotten to add, that there's no risk of permanent damage of 
any kind. If you try to load the USBDOS driver stack, and you end up 
with an unresponsive system (keyboard and mouse stop working), you 
can always just press RESET to reboot your machine, and get keyboard 
and mouse working again. Unless that loading of the driver is already 
in your autoexec.bat/config.sys :-)
