It is very interesting version of DOS 7.1
created by Wengier of China Dos Union,
available as a free download. It is not
an official microsoft product but it does the
job and is quite stable.

Just curious - does anybody know a version of DOS that supports USB? DR-
DOS, maybe? I haven't tried it.

The site referenced offers illegal copies of commercial software and
serial numbers to gain illegal access to commercial software.

A freeware newsgroup is the wrong place to discuss that kind of
website.
 
Usb support can be had, with any dos 3.3+ methinks, if you have
the right driver. THat's the cool thing bout dos, you can do
anything with a nice teeny weeny itsy bitsy driver.

Yeah. Except for this comment from that page:
<quoting>
As a general rule, USB is NOT supported in DOS. There are companies
and individuals who are producing USB stacks for DOS, but nothing
practical yet for the everyday DOS user.

DOS hasn't gone away - its has just imbedded itself into devices such as
high-end digital cameras. A version of the old (Digital Research) DR-DOS and
USB work quite successfully together for the likes of Canon.

Ah. That explains for the new FAT licensing system offered by MS (yes,
*that* File Allocation Table, which allows only for eight plus three
characters per filename - hey, what happens if my SmartCard becomes
larger than 2 GB?). I already had wondered how they might be making
money by doing that.

It's only the long filename extensions etc. that are patented AFAIK, not
the basic "old" FAT (which MS didn't invent themselves).
