To get this to work on the other system I used a file called
USBASPI.SYS. That detected the USB port and configured it. Then I
used the file DI1000DD.SYS, that loaded the drivers for the mass
storage device.
Unfortunately that will not work for the ASUS A7NDX board.

It is a FAT 32 (I now DOS can not recognize NTFS) It is a 60 gig
partition. I thought maybe DOS could not recognize a partition that
large, but it was recognized on the other system. The problem seems
to be that the USB is not being found.
