But some people in the HARDWARE end of the business must still see
possibilities for DOS [et al] USB - I just puchased a [1999 vintage?]
PCCHIPS 598LMR motherboard, in which the AMI BIOS contains 2 options:
1. "USB function"           (with values "enabled" & "disabled")
2. "USB function for DOS"   (with values "enabled" & "disabled")
