DOS USB Drivers

[scruge]

Computer Commando..

I got a question for you..

I managed to get those drivers from the link you provided, but i can't get any of the parameters to work.
 "/w /v /e"   usbaspi.sys reports they are invalid.   I got these files via the hyperlink text they had setup in the example..   I also tried the Panasonic link they had and found the same files but with different sizes and dates.  Tried those as well.. with no luck.  

So as it stands right now i've got the usbaspi.sys 43,528 and the di1000dd.sys 16,368 working without any options.  I'd like to see if I can't get them running at usb 2 speeds if possible.  

Got any ideas?

device=USBASPI.SYS /v /w works for me.  My usbaspi is 39kB.  I think mine is the Panasonic.  I never got USB2.0 working.  I was using it for image backups and none of the computers had USB2.0.  I may try it again.  This computer (PIII-450) has a USB2.0 PCI add-in card.  Requires going offline and booting to Win98-DOS.

UPDATE:  /e switch works.  Tested in DOS transfer of 270MB file, took 90 sec, therefore, 24 Mbits/sec.  This is speed through USB2.0 add-in card and USB2.0 hub.  Double USB1.1 (12Mbps), but not quite 480Mbps.

You will never see the 480Mbps speed or anywhere near it.

yep theres alot of info out there.  I even found an english translation for the Motto Hairu drivers..

I think what has happened is the instructions and drivers have gotten mixed up..  ex your webpage regarding the usb drivers has the instructions for the 38k usbaspi.sys version but the dl link provides the 43k usbaspi.sys version..  None of the switches "/v /w /e" work with the 43k version..  

I did manage to figure a few things out.. the 43k version will detect a pci usb2 card if you disable your mb's usb first.  Also was able to get the Iomega aspi1394.sys drivers to work with a 1394 pci card.

I'm still testing various configurations. I'll let you know my findings.. If you come across anything of interest let me know..
Again thanks for the help

I actually got an email today from this guy:  http://www.oldfiles.streamlinetrial.co.uk/powerload/yes.htm
I had sent some comments many months ago about his link versions not working for me.

BTW, you were right about Xtree being acquired by Central Point, here's an interesting read:  http://www.jeffreycjohnson.com/
