Archived from groups: rec>photo>digital, others (more info?)

I did a Google search on USB DOS drivers and found the following
article.

http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=10215

Curious to see if the drivers worked I downloaded them and they did
indeed function--I can now read CF cards in DOS via a cheap USB 1.1
reader I have laying around.

So what you ask? Well now you can use any CF you have (e.g. I'm now
using an old/slow Sandisk 192Mb) as a "Rescue disk" instead of
multiple floppies with programs such as Norton Antivirus and Norton
Utilities.

If you have large capacity CF card you can use it in a camera and also
as a rescue disk (NAV2003 rescue only uses about 14Mb). This is handy
if you have a laptop and something goes awry in the field.

BTW the DOS drivers are supposed to work with USB 2.0 devices as well.
Real hard drives are also supported as are CD/CD-RW/etc drives.
