Thanks. It's as I figured then. Having had to write to Flash Devices
for down hole tools and logging data, I understand the issues.

I've asked LexarMedia (JumpDrive) for more information. Perhaps there
is some way to do this. As Nick mentioned, ther emay well be some
way to 'stop' the USB connection ala the WIN-2K system but I really
don't know. I'll post what I discover.

Cheers,

John
