... but loading a USB device with these settings causes a conflict. 

Fortunately the oldest USBASPI.SYS I possess allows to specify
the memory address on command line. Packet driver and USB driver
do not run into conflict when I specify: 

---- config.sys ---------------------
DEVICE=EMM386.EXE NOEMS X=DE00-DFFF
STACKSHIGH=9,256
DEVICEHIGH=WVLANCAD.SYS /I=11 /B=300 /M=DE00
-------------------------------------

----- autoexec.bat ------------------
lh wvlan42 l
devload /h  C:\DOS\UTIL\usbaspi1.sys /w /v /M=DF
devload /h  C:\DOS\UTIL\di1000dd.sys
-------------------------------------

Still I feel that this modification may be wasting precious 
memory.
