What Win are you running? I am still running 98SE because it still
does everything I need. My camera is a read\rite device. I don't
have to unmount it. I plug it in after boot, and when I set it to
disk a drive letter is assigned. When I am done I just unplug it.

Don't have Zip disks inserted or USB devices connected when booting
Win or Zip disks inserted when booting DOS; drive letters get confused.
