Clueless in Seattle
2008-08-01 23:30:40 UTC
I just received a hand-me-down Toshiba Satellite 2545 XCDT laptop and
I've installed MS-DOS 6.21 on it.
This laptop has a USB port.
I'm wondering if I could use the USB port to back up my files to a
flash drive? If so, I'd be grateful if one of you could point me to
instructions for using a USB flash drive with MS-DOS.
If MS-DOS 6.21 doesn't support USB drives, then I'd be grateful for a
recommendation of a free and legal DOS that does.
I'm getting along in years and have chronic health problems that
severely limit my ability get much done these days (due to my need to
nap and rest often). And my cognitive skills have been severely
hampered by both my illnesses and the meds I have to take for them, so
if I'm going to have to switch to a newer version of DOS, the more
closely it resembles my trusty old MS-DOS 6.21 the better.
Many thanks!
