USB Support for DOS

A number of people used to think that USB support in DOS was not possible, and there were no USB drivers for DOS. However, this is no longer true. In fact, most newer BIOS should support USB keyboards and even USB mice natively, so no additional USB keyboard/mouse driver for DOS is needed at all in this case. Also, many other USB devices, particularly many different kinds of USB Mass Storage devices, will usually work great under pure DOS if the correct drivers are loaded. Here are some types of USB Mass Storage devices that should be relatively easy to work in DOS:

Below are some very useful USB drivers for DOS:

DUSE

DUSE is a half-universal yet full-featured USB Mass Storage driver for DOS, which support USB Hard Drives, USB Floppy Drives, USB CD Drives, USB ZIP Drives, and USB MO Drives.

Downloads:

Example:

DEVICE=<path>DUSE.EXE INT XFER=32 DRIVES=2 CDD=USB-CD

USBASPI

USBASPI is a 'universal' driver for many different USB Mass Storage drives with different chipsets, such as Intel, VIA, NVIDIA, Ali and SiS chipsets. Especially USB Flash drives should work fine with this driver. But note that this driver is actually a 'converter', i.e. Convert USB devices to SCSI/ASPI devices, so you also need to load some universal SCSI/ASPI driver after USBASPI in order for the devices to work correctly.

Downloads:

Example:

DEVICE=<path>USBASPI.SYS /R /V

ASPI?HCI

Similar to the above USBASPI driver, but this driver has many limitations. Anyway, it should work with some Iomega USB Mass Storage devices. ASPIOHCI.SYS is for OHCI devices, ASPIUHCI.SYS is for UHCI devices, and ASPIEHCI.SYS is for EHCI devices. Note that you also need to load some universal SCSI/ASPI driver after ASPI?HCI in order for the devices to work correctly.

Downloads:

Example:

DEVICE=<path>ASPIOHCI.SYS /INT /ALL

SCSI drivers

In order for SCSI/ASPI devices to work under DOS, the corresponding SCSI/ASPI drivers must be loaded. SCSI drivers consist of two parts: the specific driver for the SCSI controller and the universal driver for the SCSI device. As the matter of fact, the USBASPI or ASPI?HCI driver above is the former part of the SCSI drivers. Thus, once USBASPI or ASPI?HCI is loaded successfully, you need a universal SCSI driver for that device to really work. For USB/SCSI CD drives to work properly under DOS, MSCDEX must be loaded after the corresponding CD driver.

Downloads:

Drivers for SCSI Hard Drives: DI1000DD.SYSASPIDISK.SYS
Drivers for SCSI CD Drives: USBCD.SYSASPICD.SYS
More drivers: GUEST.EXERAMFD.EXE

Example:

DEVICE=<path>USBASPI.SYS /R /V
DEVICE=<path>DI1000DD.SYS /H1
DEVICE=<path>USBCD.SYS /D:USB-CD

USB_CD

USB_CD.SYS is a USB CD driver for DOS. However, it will work with certain chipsets and models only, such as IBM USB Portable CD-ROM Drive (P/N 33L5151). For other chipsets and models, please use the more generic USB DOS drivers.

Download:

Example:

DEVICE=<path>USB_CD.SYS /D:USB-CD

USBLink

USBLink is mainly for USB keyboards and USB mice support under pure DOS. So if your BIOS doesn't support USB keyboards/mice natively, you can try this driver. OHCI.EXE is for OHCI devices, and UHCI.EXE is for UHCI devices. Unfortunately, this driver has some bugs and limitations.

Downloads:

USB4DOS

Download Catc Driver App

This driver was made by CATC Corp. Unlike other USB drivers for DOS, this one is not freeware and quite expensive. CATC say USB4DOS supports all different kinds of USB devices, including USB Mass Storage devices, USB printers, USB modems, and so forth.

Steps to Installing Your CAC Reader on Your PC Overview

1. Ensure your CAC Reader works for PC.
2. Check to make sure your PC accepts the CAC reader.
3. Update Your DOD Certificates.
4. Verify you have the right ActivClient for your branch.

This is the easiest part of the install seeing as almost all CAC readers work for PC. I’ve gone ahead and put together a list of some of the best CAC readers available. Check these out!

[tcb-script src=”https://api.tablelabs.com/t/8iuqt65d.js” defer=””][/tcb-script]

Once you’ve received your CAC reader, the next step is to plug it in and verify your PC recognizes it. If you have selected any of the above readers, you should be good to go. Your computer may actually begin to install the appropriate drivers needed automatically. However if that doesn’t happen, follow these steps to get started:

For Windows 10 Users:

• Right Click the Windows Logo found in the lower left-hand corner of your screen.
• Click System, then Device Manager
• Scroll down to where it says Smart Card Readers and click on the little triangle next to it to get started.

For Windows 7/8 Users:

• Right Click My Computer and select Properties
• Next select Device Manager and scroll down to Smart Card Readers
• Select the little triangle next to it in order to get started.

After your drivers have been installed, it’s time to move on to the next step.

To access DOD websites from home, you first need to have DOD permissions certificates on your home computer. These are simple enough to acquire though.

Using InstallRoot will make this issue monumentally easy through their simple to follow wizard. You can download InstallRoot for Windows from the following link:

This is the latest version of InstallRoot. Be sure to update your version if having issues.

Once you have downloaded the program, simply run it. It will take you step-by-step on how to update your DOD certificates. After the installation, you can also verify that your DOD certs have been uploaded successfully.

Download Catc Driver Test

This can be done by heading to your certificate management settings on your default Internet browser and checking to see if the certificates are listed.

After you’ve verified your DOD certificates, you next need to update your ActivClient–more specifically for your appropriate Branch of Service (if applicable).

ActivClient is a program that allows your computer to communicate with the chip on your CAC and relay that information between government websites. Making sure you have this installed is very important.

SO, you need to make sure that your ActivClient is up-to-date. Find your specific branch’s through the links below.

• Coast Guard- Purchase ActivClient from third-party vendor.
• DOD Civilians- Acquire through vendor.

You Should Now Have CAC Access at Home!

But if not… There’s usually one particular reason. Your CAC card itself needs updating. Older versions of the card, do not meet the minimum requirements to access. To fix this, just head into your local PSD, and request a new CAC that does have access.
