Well, if you can find DOS-mode drivers for your USB device(s) along with the
device-specific drivers for the USB device that you want to plug-in (since
there won't be any registry to lookup the definition of the USB device that
you plug in) then you put them on the bootable floppy and then ACCESS the
files on your USB device.

A Google search on "+DOS +USB" will show other possibilities.
