There are DOS drivers for USB devices. Quick search to get this:

Hello,

I will check this link! Thank you. :0)
I've been trying to get this thing to work for a few days now, I've reassembled
and old machine running MSDOS 6.22. I'm using it also to browse BBS b the way.
It's a lot of fun! :0) But do we need a US stick formatted specifically for
MSDOS? That seems logical. Because so far, I haven't managed to get my USB
stick recognized. What's more, MSDOS can only read partitions up to 2GB, unless
I'm mistaken.

Your best bet is really FreeDOS, not MS-DOS if you want to run DOS on more modern hardware.

I had already explored FREEDOS once a few years ago. I'll probably install it
on another hard disk to see what FREEDOS can do for me. On MSDOS, it's version
6.22, and it's mainly for playing games and launching a few applications. And
so the USB would be used to transfer large files. And also to say me: "ok, I
managed to get the USB support workingunder MSDOS. Because finally I found it
simpler to create a local FTP and retrieve files that way on my MSDOS machine.

Anyway, thanks for the tip! :0)
