DOS ain't dead

USB devices in DOS (Users)

Hello, everybody.
So, usb flash drive and usb mouse are working
without any drivers on my netbook (in freedos).
In my case FreeDos assigns drive letter to
the flash drive only at load time.

But to mount/unmount the flash drive I have to hard-reboot.
Rebooting is fast (about 4 sec) but what is the correct
way of re-assigning drives after I plug/unplug usb flash?

Usb mouse works when cutemouse driver is loaded, BUT it
runs BOTH the usb mouse and PS/2 touchpad. Both devices
works fine in text mode apps like VC.
But, for example in duke3d if i touch or click the
usb mouse, the keyboard goes completely crazy.
Honestly I didn't expected dos apps to work with usb mouse
correctly , I was even thinking of extracting the
touchpad and unsoldering the contacts for a normal PS/2 socket.
Here another noob question rises: is the usb-mouse ITSELF works the same as classic mouse (just has a diff. plug)?
