Title: detect the plop usb driver under dos
Post by: Multipassface on July 21, 2010, 13:34:56 PM
perhaps the driver that plop sets up for USB-Dos can somehow be made a file I can use in "config.sys" of DOS. I am sure it's a silly question, but I am determined to find a solution  ;D

hi,
i wrote the tool today. please test it http://download.plop.at/tmp/plpchk-0.1.zip

you can use it from the command prompt, in batch files or in your config.sys

thats the help output

plpchk 0.1 20100915 by Elmar Hanlhofer http://www.plop.at

Check for the plop usb driver

plpchk [/?] [/h] [file]

  /?      help
  /h      hide text output
  file    create this file when the driver was detected or remove it when the
          driver was not detected

You can run this program from the command prompt or config.sys

config.sys example: DEVICE=c:\tools\plpchk.exe c:\tmp\plpusb

For batch processing: ERRORLEVEL 0 = no driver detected
                                 1 = driver detected
