I was kinda hoping to take a "nostalgia tack" on this one.
Two cents:
Me, I came up with a Linux solution. Ntfs-3g, ntfs-fix, and some basic
python. It booted and did the trick without typing anything, but it
required disabling secure boot and changing to ahci. It was late, it was

I use a disk image, boot that from Grub and simply run/save stuff on a
local Fat32 partition. I also boot Windows (rarely) which, ironically,
wants to "fix" the fat partition that Linux and FreeDos are just fine
with. (Which fix breaks things terribly)

We did talk at length about it almost exactly a year ago. The tldr version
is that you would need ssh2d386 and you have to have access to modify the

Is this thread still about wireless for Dos? If not, sorry for posting.
If so, I bought a wireless to ethernet bridge - smaller than a deck of
cards, runs on usb power - works great for my Dos machine. I tried a wifi
card that supposedly supported dos - never could get it working, threw it
away
Unetbootin will work for disk or iso, however, I have come across usb that
simply will not work for some strange reason. I have to wonder if anybody
has ever had any success simply sys-ing the usb?
