It should be possible, but I don't have a USB Hub, so I can't test it.

Where can I find a driver for USB Hub?

DUSE and the like should also support USB Hub.

Question: under DOS, through a USB HUB it can recognize storage devices (such as USB flash drives), but it cannot recognize HID devices (such as keyboards and mice). What is the reason? Also, after running GHOST.exe, everything can be used. Does GHOST load some driver when it runs?

I once looked for this driver for a long time, but there is no source code. There is no free lunch.

The USB committee has it, but you have to buy it! After finally managing to get the materials and look at them, Brother Jack said after reading them that they were all garbage programs; they don't use low-level language (so they're slow), and the examples are also unclear!

Nowadays many motherboards support booting to DOS from a USB flash drive. This shows that the required program only needs a part of the BIOS program to do the job. I hope someone who can write BIOS programs can share that part of the code! As long as Microsoft is willing, even just a little, we wouldn't have to be so troubled over DOS support for USB flash drives......
