I had already explored FREEDOS once a few years ago. I'll probably install it on
another hard disk to see what FREEDOS can do for me. On MSDOS, it's version
6.22, and it's mainly for playing games and launching a few applications. And so
the USB would be used to transfer large files. And also to say me: "ok, I
managed to get the USB support workingunder MSDOS. Because finally I found it
simpler to create a local FTP and retrieve files that way on my MSDOS machine.
Anyway, thanks for the tip! :0)
