I thought the development of DOS software started to slow down significantly around 1995 when Windows 95 came out.  If I recall, Windows 95 didn't seem to properly add USB support until OSR2.1 came out (around 1996-ish, I think?), and even then, I heard its USB support still was lacking a little bit.  It seems DOS use did still continue for a little bit, so I guess it's possible that there would be USB or even USB3 drivers for DOS..
