If you can give me a driver that will provide "generic" access to USB storage
devices under DOS, I would be very grateful, and would happily put togther a
boot setup that would make use of it - so far I have not found a way to access
a USB device of any kind under DOS (not that I've spent much time looking,
but I have had several "it would be nice" moments)

IMD just does INT 21 calls to open/read/write/close the image files. So it should
work fine - I've used it under Win9x (fat 32) - it also works OK over a network
redirected file system
