Please help your little brother, how can I drive a USB flash drive under DOS? - China DOS Union Forum

I’ve already tried duse, but it can’t recognize my USB flash drives (including Netac and Patriot). After duse is loaded, when I insert the USB flash drive, duse detects that there is a new USB device
and starts checking it, but it always shows failure. Do any of you experts have any better way? I’m anxious as fire, please give me some advice. I would be extremely grateful!!!

There’s no way for the time being.

Using Motto?Hairu will do

The poster above, where can I download it? How do I use it?

It’s in that “DOS USB Device Driver Collection” on the forum.

What I found:
I have a USB flash drive and a hard drive. When I use DUSE by itself, the system reports "Failed to load usb storage device", and when DUSE is used alone I tried a lot of parameters, but it can’t recognize any device. And when I use Motto Hairu by itself,
it can’t find the device either, but if I use these two programs together then everything is OK. It can support USB flash drives and hard drives, and it boots 100% of the time. But each time it can only support one device. You just need to put the following stuff in config.sys, but you need to download these programs first; the download address is in the post above:
device=DUSE.EXE VERBOSE=0 XFER=64 NOCD
device=USBASPI.SYS
device=Di1000dd.SYS
When it gets to DUSE, the USB hard drive light stays on continuously, and it still says "Failed to load usb storage device". Then when it gets to Motto Hairu, it recognizes the hard drive or Motto Hairu.
It seems DUSE supports plug-and-play, but with my method plug-and-play doesn’t work. So I still hope to be able to boot the device with DUSE alone.
I hope other experts can help me solve this problem.

By the way, the parameters of these two programs don’t matter much in my method, you don’t necessarily have to write them exactly like mine. The main thing is that the call order of DUSE and Motto Hairu is very important: DUSE must be called first

My MS-DOS 7.10 boot disk also uses this call order, namely:

...
DEVICE=ECHO.SYS L/o/a/d/i/n/g USB /d/r/i/v/e/s /s/u/p/p/o/r/t...
DEVICE=DUSE.EXE DRIVES=3 CDD=USBCD
DEVICE=USBASPI.SYS /R
DEVICEHIGH=DI1000DD.SYS
DEVICEHIGH=USBCD.SYS /D:USBCD
DEVICE=ASPIOHCI.SYS /INT /ALL
DEVICE=ASPIUHCI.SYS /INT /ALL
...

Are there any newer USB drivers now............ When I turn on USB2.0, DUSE hangs.

Of course, even without turning on the USB2.0 function, DUSE still doesn’t work, but it’s still somewhat useful, at least it can sense when I insert or remove a drive.

I found that using OHCI.exe\UHCI.exe can also replace DUSE.exe. An IBM USB 2.0 hard drive enclosure at my workplace hangs when using DUSE, but it doesn’t with UHCI,
also, that method of mine above with DUSE won’t boot on a Microstar 845PE max motherboard. I don’t know what other motherboards don’t support it either; my phrase '100% boot' was a bit exaggerated

The USB on 845pe is 2.0, and the 845GE is also 2.0

I succeeded: 845d + Patriot Mini King!
Absolutely don’t use DUSE or the MS-DOS 7.10 boot disk, just use Motto Hairu alone!
Add to config.sys:
DEVICE=D:\USB\RAMF.SYS
DEVICE=D:\USB\USBASPI.SYS /R
DEVICE=D:\USB\DI1000DD.SYS
If you don’t believe it, try it!
