31.05.2008 M64 0.85E released - USB 2.0 mass storage support
. provides a mdwbeta.exe
- that creates a Floppy image on USB memory stick
. that is bootable (at least on my AMD-64 machine - as BIOS support is required for booting from USB)

As provided (mdwbeta.exe) created a floppy on the USB-Memory stick
i.e. my 1Giga USB memory stick appears to only be 1.44M and the rest is not usable.


I created a DOS bootable USB-Memory Stick:
- Booted a DOS CD (c:)
- The USB Stick (formatted as a FAT-16 file system) appeared as D:
- Copied the complete file tree from CD to USB (on d: XCOPY /s c:)
- Created the boot sector (SYS d:)) <---------- This is the trick/hack

Maybe MenuetOS could provide the equivalent of the IBM/MS-DOS SYS command.

The SYS command does:
- Writes a boot sector on the target drive
- copies the following files:
-- IO.SYS (low half kernel)
-- DOS.SYS (high half kernel)
-- COMMAND.COM
to the target drive
