There are DOS drivers for USB devices. Quick search to get this: http://www.georgpotthast.de/usb/
Have you tried it?

AFAIK, Recent versions of FreeDOS should support a USB drive formatted
as FAT/FAT32. Should show up as long as it's plugged in before booting.
Not sure if there's a way to hot mount though, been a while.
I've been trying to get this thing to work for a few days now, I've reassembled and old machine running MSDOS 6.22. I'm using it also to browse BBS b the way. It's a lot of fun! :0) But do we need a US stick formatted specifically for MSDOS? That seems logical. Because so far, I haven't managed to get my USB stick recognized. What's more, MSDOS can only read partitions up to 2GB, unless I'm mistaken.
Your best bet is really FreeDOS, not MS-DOS if you want to run DOS on
more modern hardware.

I've had some luck recently using MS-DOS 7.1. FreeDOS does have some game

What exactly is MS-DOS 7.1? The last official standalone release Microsoft made of MS-DOS was 6.22. Would 7.1 be the DOS layer included with Windows 98 or something?

you can make a boot disk and make sure it has format and fdisk on it.
format with /s and it will be dos 7

You need a FAT16 partition. Also, to use USB you'll need a driver or bump up
If you can't find one, I know theres a DOS USB driver @ 2oFB... search funct
