cool, thx. And... if I am running FreeDOS on bare metal only - maybe in the BIOS somewhere or is there a helper app somewhere in FDOS that lists the device? Probabely a case for Georg Potthast...? Thomas > On Mon,20210607- week23, at 16:25, Tomas By wrote: > > On Mon, 07 Jun 2021 16:19:23 +0

Hey, Thanks for responding. So I ended up getting USB drive support to work. The only trick is you need to insert the device at boot, no hot swapping. On Sun, Jun 6, 2021, 23:27 dmccunney, wrote: > On Sun, Jun 6, 2021 at 10:51 PM joseph turco > wrote: > > > > i'm looking at installing freeDOS
