I'm trying to figure out out to use USB flash drives in MS-DOS to transfer files I've found 2 drivers usbaspi.sys and di1000DD.sys but I don't know how to get it to assign a drive letter so I can access it.
It's the next available one.How do I figure out which drive letter it assigns it?
Good luck wid dat!As far as the letter, watch when the driver installs. It will tell you what letter it's assigned.
....Of course you could reformat a 2GB drive with FAT16 and it should work (I haven't tried that yet)...
...And, you should be able to format an 8GB drive with four 2GB partitions.
I'm not even entirely sure if I installed the USB 'card' the right way because the motherboard only has 8pins rather than the 9 to let you know which way the cable is supposed to be connected. The motherboard is a FIC VA-502.
FWIW I didn't have any success with the integrated USB port on my 233 MHz motherboard so I added an actual PCI expansion card with to get the USB support. YMMVI'm not even entirely sure if I installed the USB 'card' the right way because the motherboard only has 8pins rather than the 9 to let you know which way the cable is supposed to be connected.

Placing a PAUSE command in the autoexec.bat file will stop processing long enough to note all the displayed messages.
For this to be workable you need to load DI1000DD.SYS last in the CONFIG.SYS file and place the pause first in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, or something to that effect.What krebizfan said.
