"BIOS willing"
That's my point. I also have an earlier model where the BIOS is NOT
willing. So... no external USB drives.

On my Apsire I found that once I booted it up I could not plug a USB

available to FreeDOS as drive D: and had no problem.
That has nothing to do with any specific Asus model (I have the same
basic issue on Dell and Toshiba as well), but simply the fact that
there is no "plug&play" USB in DOS. Plugging the USB device after DOS
is already booted will not work on ANY of them. Plug it in BEFORE
turning the system (back) on, and it will recognize it (BIOS will
willing) just as any other hard drive...
