USB 2.0 driver for DOS available - DOSUSB (Announce)

Well. Yesterday I tried this driver and yes, it works perfectly.
But the problem is the time limitation of this demoversion and HIGH PRICE of full version.

I am now deciding whether to buy or not the full version.

pro:
+ it works without problems. I can't test it right now but in the past, the
USB 1.1 version worked even with flash disks where Bret's driver didn't.
+ it is the only universal DOS driver which supports USB 2.0 protocol.
+ I think in generaly the DOS developers should be supported

con:
- 65 euro is really lot
- in the fact I don't heavily need the USB 2.0 support. Yes, the USB 1.1
speed is slow and f.e. copying film on or from flash disk takes a lot of
time but not more time than a drinking a cup of tea
- I can compare with Bret's drivers which are technialy much more advanced
support the INT 13h interface (what is quite important for me), are free
and open sourced

What about discount to 40 euro, George?
