That's exactly what the USB drivers do, though it can be fairly complicated to setup, and again only works with certain hardware. There are several factors to consider -- the first is to make sure you have a compatible (UHCI) USB Host Controller. UHCI Host Controllers are made by either Intel or Via. Probably the best/easiest way to do that is to download the USB drivers from my web site (http://bretjohnson.us) and run the USBHOSTS program. It will tell you what kind(s) of USB host controllers you have installed. If they're not UHCI, my drivers won't work. _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
