Hi!
First of all, my name is David Kintana. I'm from Spain and I'm a fanatic of MS-DOS. I played with it since late 80's and, after some years of fun with it, I drove myself to Linux (fantastic, too) and Windows (With this one I had no fun at all, but it's mandatory at work today).
But some months ago I remembered those sunny days with MS-DOS while browsing FreeDOS website and I took the decisition of build a DOS station with some hardware that was at home. One of the musts was to have USB support, nd after some searching on the web, I found this great (very great) page. Thanks for your effort, Bret; your job is fantastic.
Ok. Now the problem.
I have several flash disks and, althought some of them works great with USBDRIVE, I have three that make extrange things.
The first one is a Kingstom DataTraveler 102. When I try to obtain a directory listing, the DIR comand gets stucked triying to obtain the remaining disk space at the end of the list (The directory listing gets fast and correct), and I have to reboot the computer to take control again, or to unplug the device and then plug another flash to obtain an error accesing the device and the message "Abort, Retry, fail". If I try to copy any file (I've tried with autoexec.bat), the operation takes several hours and end with an error accesing te device, with the same message as above.
The second one, is an adaptor from USB to micro SD. The simptoms are the same as above. Perhaps the Kingston One internally is some kind of adaptor from USB to SD?
The last one, is from "USBest Technologies" (Who knows?). This time, the directory listing works great. No probs. But when I try to copy autoexec.bat, I get the same problem: several hours waiting.
In all cases, the led gets blinking all the time while the operation takes place.
I've proved them with FreeDOS 1.0 and MS-DOS 7.1, with Intel and with VIA chipset. I've ran USBASPI before USBUHCIL but no luck.
An ideas of what's happening?
Thanks a lot!
