Does anyone know if there USB DOS drivers available for use with any CDR/W? I want to be able to boot up on a floppy disk and be able to copy ghost images from the HD to the burner. Any help would be appreciated.

I thought I needed DOS drivers, too, for me to be able to use Norton Ghost. It turns out that Norton Ghost 2001 (v6.5) has a huge number of DOS drivers for just about every CD-R/RW drive. Go here to read about what drives are supported... https://forums.windrivers.com/

I guess I'm not so much worried about DOS drivers for the CDR as I am the USB port that I want to connect the CDR to, is your CDR connected USB?

My guess is there would be no way to get DOS to talk to USB, as even Win95 OSR2 has to have the USB supplement installed before it knows what's going on.
I expect a device driver could be written to interface to USB, (maybe appearing to be LPT2 or a COM port for a backup device) but the demand would be so slight no-one would bother.
On my system USB lives at the port address E400 - E41F (hexadecimal) and uses IRQ 10 https://forums.windrivers.com/
I suppose this is a default address like LPT and COM ports.
Sorry, TheRaven, I misunderstood your question. No, I have an internal burner. I think you're SOL... https://forums.windrivers.com/
