If I can type in

a:\>duseldr.com duse.exe

at the A: prompt and it works then why can't I just type in
device=duseldr.com duse.exe

to my config.sys without making my system hang.

Usuing a 98SE boot disk.

Probably belongs in Autoexec.bat, not Config.sys.

I just need to see my USB CD Drive in DOS and DUSE is the olny program I found that works. I just thought if I automate it instead of typing it in everytime. And I see no place for it in the Autoexec anything. THIS link is where I got the idea. Analyse that and see if it helps.

Actually I just realized if I use only

device=duse.exe

in the config.sys file it works.

But what I thought worked doesn't. It says loading the CD drive but then it says drive D not installed. But the RAM drive goes to E: so somethibg is taking up D:. So why the not install sign?

I'll assume you're using the boot floppy created via Add/Remove Programs "Startup Disk" function.

Insert the line Device=Duse.exe CDD=mscd001 in the [CD] section, below device=himem.sys /testmem:off.

It says Unknown Parameter CCD.

Yes I am usuing that startup disk. Never mind I spelled it wrong. I'll try it again.

this is what the config.sys of that boot disk looks like.

Even with Correct Spelling it says USB support enabled for DOS but no D drive installed or any cd drives detected. But in windows 98 SE it detects the USB CD-RW drive.

I like this new one I discovered HERE called usbdrive.zip. I like the way it modifies the menu so U can choose to start with or without USB support. But I still need usbcd.sys and can't find it. Have U seen that anywhere?

ivnj

See Using USB Drives In DOS. My impression is that Cypress's DUSE may require another driver to work.

I figured it out. I just ued the usbdrive one I just mentioned. I couldn't find usbcd.sys. But usbcd1.sys and usbcd2.sys are there in the package.The usbcd1.sys there worked by modifying the config.sys file they give with a usbcd1.sys insteead of the usbcd.sys already there in two places. Just copy that config.sys file and their autoexec.bat to a 98 boot floppy. And copy the rest of the files in that package they give to the same 98 boot floppy. And walla.
