very bad "design"

About the unloadable TSR approach and INT $13 support they definitely are

see also here (not in board mode)

I don't think so

In this area definitely YES.

For me too (YES we had discussed this by mail ...).

YES.

Why INT $13 support is needed:

- FS brewing (FAT and also non-FAT)
- partitionning (NO I DON'T care about private problems of Bill)
- support of non-FAT FS
- wiping
- "physical disk" content inspection and editing
- use with kernels not supporting SYS
- testing DOSUSB.COM only (barring out possible bugs of USBDISK.SYS)
- proper hotplug support
