  • USB keyboard driver?

    From JJ@jj4public@vfemail.net to comp.os.msdos.misc on Wed May 27 23:02:06 2020

    Anyone know a working device driver for USB keyboard? I know I can just use USB-to-PS/2 converter, but I need a software solution.

    I've only found two from dosusb.net and bretjohnson.us, but none of them are usable. One of them crashes the system, and the other can't detect the USB controller.

    I use a USB keyboard and mouse in DOS. The BIOS has USB legacy support
    to make it work. You may need to fiddle with the BIOS settings. Why do
    you need a DOS device driver?

    Because the BIOS doesn't support USB keyboard.

    Maybe USB "legacy." Never seen USB ports without that. What motherboard?

    for which version of DOS is that? :)
    DOS 6.22 only supports lt or eq 2Gbyte?

    I think that's right; I did try DUSE some years back, memory sticks of 2G would have been expensive/nonexistent then.

    I also used UHCPI ? EHCPI?
