Freedos will support a usb hard drive, but no other usb devices.

I have tried getting Arachne running in dos with wattcp.  I may have to
reinstall Arachne, though.  It came as part of an extras or full freedos
package, and I might've botched the original install.  The wattcp and crynwar
net card drivers work.  The pc pulls an IP address from my outer and I can
ping it.

It's a matter of me being lazy and expecting immdiate results from tech I
know will work.  I would like to get Arachne going, just to see how it
handles modern sites.
