  • Recognizing USB

    From F. W.@3:770/3 to All on Tue Mar 30 07:06:13 2021
    Good morning,

    usually my Pi 400 recognizes any USB-Stick, regardless of its size oder fileformat. This is when I use Raspberry Pi OS.

    DOSBIAN is a distribution that boots directly to DOSBOX and looks like a
    1989 PC what I like.

    But this distribution seems not able to recognize my USB-Sticks. I can
    not see anything under /media/usb although the stick contains at least
    20 files. All I see is /dev/disks/by-label/@MSDOS (The name of the stick
    is MSDOS).

    Does anybody know how I can enable any distribution to recognize
    USB-Sticks after sticking it in the 400?

    DOS predates USB (2000) so why would you expect it to support USB? Mind
    you, it does seem a reasonable request!
