I have a 256MB pen drive which I left formatted as FAT16 and I copied my DOS
games to the drive. Some of them don't work
effectively under XP, even tried VDMsound and DOSBOX. However, I do have a
bootable dos CD with all the sound card drivers and would like to know if
upon bootup the BIOS treats the USB pen drive as a fixed disk (assuming
INT13) and thus tricks DOS/Win9x into seeing it as a fixed hard disk so that
when I type c:, it goes to the pen drive since my actual fixed drive is NTFS
formatted and DOS won't recognize it of course.
Also, is this what USB emulation is all about?
