Publisher's description
From Jamesonline :DOS-on-USB lets you install MS-DOS 7.1 on your USB memory key. After formatting your flash drive, you can install a full working version of MS-DOS to let you run games or system utilities. The best thing about having a DOS-bootable memory key is you can boot into it on any computer, just like a CD.
You'll find this utility great for times you need to do system maintenance, because you wont constantly have to burn a new CD, just copy the program to the USB Drive. With the DOS prompt, you can even install Windows 95 or 98. Recommended USB drive size: 16MB - 2GB. Version 2 features an auto launch for ease of the DOS operating system.
What's new in this version:
Version 2 includes unspecified updates.

Version: DOS-on-USB 2
Pros: Nothing, didn't work.
Cons: Whether it was an incompatiblity with the computer I tested this on, or it just didn't work, this program didn't do what its supposed to do. As soon as I tried to boot from the USB drive it locked the computer up and I had to reboot it and just give up.

Version: DOS-on-USB 2
Pros: This was a great tool for me. I needed to do some DOS-based diagnostics on my computer, and it saved me the hassle of trying to make a bootable cd/dvd. I used my 1 GB memory key and had more space than on a CD, PLUS I was able to save diagnostic info on it too!
Cons: Nothing so far

Version: DOS-on-USB 2
Pros: I don't know what more you could want. DOS-on-USB 2 made a 1 GIG thumb drive boot to DOS.
Cons: None, it did exactly what the authos said it would do.
Summary: If you don't have a floppy and need to boot to DOS this is a great way to do it.
