This USB driver is crappy. I tried it on CF in USB 2.0 reader. It works for me but only for smaller files up to ~10MB. Transfer speed was ~400kB/s. When I copied bigger ~40MB file and read it back and compare them it shows some errors (~3kB of different bytes) beyond ~20MB offset (but it is not constant). And the 'best' thing was after I reboot I got completly messed up filesystem on CF - garbage in root directory, messed bootsector, only MBR survived... It do the same under DOS 6.22 and 7.10.

I have much better experiences with USBMASS/386 4.05 which is pretty fast (~5MB/s write, 6,5MB/s read), dynamically loadable and no data corruption. But it eats lot of lowmem.

I have aslo USB legacy support in BIOS but it doesn't handle USB 2.0 speed.
