It's USBDRIVE.COM, not USBDRIVE.SYS, and I don't think it makes any recursive INT 13h calls (I'll verify this before the next release). Jack and I did talk about the possibility of recursive INT 13h calls as a way to design a manageable interface between UIDE and USBDRIVE, which of course never panned out.
