With command.com and config.sys on the flash drive, can these drives be used to boot a DOS PC?

I think it can. The unit replaces the floppy drive. Better yet try a flash drive. &gt; Any way get the unit with the digital displays. I have the same unit pictured installed in a machine. use it to load programs into a cnc. Works fine.

I was able to transfer all of my floppys to my computer using this drive. You should be able to then transfer or burn them to cd or dvd.

You sure can. I formatted the drive to use it as a Linux installation disk.

yes,all it is an external drive, so it would not run an operation system, but you can retrieve data off of it like a usb tumb drive and use it as extra storage for acomputer.

Windows 7 "properties" of the drive says you can. I haven't tried it as I don't use readyboost. But I don't think it suggests it if it's not willing to use it.

I only use it for my ps3 but im sure u could its set up as fat32 so your computer would recognize it as a flash drive.

The simple answer is "No". The USB stick just needs to be formatted as a floppy. You don't really need any special software at all. But the software that comes with it does a better job of formatting a usb stick. One suggestion is use a small usb stick though, otherwise you will be wasting a lot of space. It worked great on a Burney cnc machine.

Daniel M. The 4GB USB flash drive is large enough for a bootable drive. This flash drive is fine for what you want to accomplish, and the price is good. However, when I ordered this product 1 out of 10 was not a 4GB device it was a 1GB device, I can only assume it was in the wrong bin or human error. Other than that they worked just like any other USB Flash drive. You will want to make sure that your BIOS are set to boot from the USB "First". Depending on which Operating System you plan on using the process for creating a bootable device will be a little bit different. You may see this link http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-USB-Bootable or Google "how to make a bootable usb flash drive". I hope this will help. James Springer

I haven't tried but I imagine that would depend on the BIOS of the machine you're trying to boot. Drives attached to the ICY Dock look like any USB storage device (thumb drive, hard drive, etc.)

Should be fine, this is a hardware connection to the Hard Drives there is no software or drivers to load.

Short answer: yes. Long answer: It's a very standardized interface supported in almost any operating system. You should expect this to work as well as a USB flash drive. There may be some slight differences between operating systems, such as whether it powers down when not in use and how long (within a narrow range) it takes to start transferring data. Otherwise you'll have no problems.

It should work either way. I even used a 64gb flash usb drive for a little while when my hard drive burnt up.

Sorry I only run windows 7. The floppy disk drive on windows 7 is a plug and play.

I would have to say yes. I set this up for a person to scan to a mapped drive.

Good question. As long as you have Vista or Windows 7 I don't see why not. The key is the drivers. Rom drives tend to do pretty good as long as you have the proper environment for it to operate. (power supply, OS, memory, etc) I'd give it a try. Should do just fine.
