I don't know what I find more surprising - that a USB driver exists for MS-DOS _at all,_ that it is _20 years old,_ or that it wasn't written by INTEL or Microsoft but instead by _Panasonic._
Three questions: (1) Where did you get the driver files?; (2) I see that you only added two of the three files into your config.sys. Why is that?; (3) You mention the "/w" switch and appear to use it upon booting, but not in your config.sys. Can you list which USB drivers you have in your config.sys along with any switches used? Thank you!

If I recall correctly, the Flash drive I was working with had some issue with DI1000DD.SYS 3) I'm not using the /W switch in the video. When /W is used there is a prompt before the ASPI manager starts scanning for USB devices. The purpose is so you can either connect a USB device or swap USB devices on boot. From my CONFIG.SYS file: DEVICEHIGH=C:\DOS\DRIVERS\USB\USBASPI.SYS DEVICEHIGH=C:\DOS\DRIVERS\USB\NJ32DISK.SYS
@@adventuresinnostalgia425 Thank you for the reply! I've been fighting with a older Dell laptop that I've put DOS 6.22 on, but I need a quick way to load other files.
Sorry but you don't tell what computer it is, what USB Board it is... And the miniature show an IBM AT.... You seems to use a 200MHz pentium, released 10 years after..........
The miniature is an icon ment to be symbolic of an MS-DOS PC. It is not intended to represent the actual PC used in the video. The PC used in the video is an ASUS mobo circa 1997 with a Pentium Pro 200 MHz CPU. I have the detailed specs of the system written down somewhere I'll see if I can get those added to the description.

That's a tough one! Coin toss?
The company surprises me more. I heard about DOS USB drivers many years ago but had no desire to try them out.

Works perfect.
Thank you for confirming! USB drivers for DOS sounds like a fun project your working on!
Is the USB host adapter in the computer in your video connected via the ISA or PCI bus?
It's onboard. I think I have the mobo model number written down somewhere so I don't have to retrieve the computer for my inventory to check it
I have found installing windows 98 (or any other Windows with USB support) a better solution.
Very true! I find this to be more interesting than useful to be honest.
