... rather disks that are "reserved" by USBMSD.ADD. If you tell USBMSD.ADD to prepare 8 units via setting the /REMOVABLES:8 switch then USBMSD.ADD will report to the OS that it is managing 8 units even if no USB stick/disk is plugged in. That's because of a limitation in OS/2 that needs to know already at boot up time how many partitionable devices are there. You can easily test: change /REMOVABLES: to another value and see what DosPhysicalDisk will report back.
