Subject:	SCOUG-Help: Use of USB Port for Storage Devices

Content Type: text/plain

Harry,
I have no problems using card readers with SD devices in them. I have
two 2GB Ultra II SD devices for my Canon camera. Previously, I've used
a reader for Compact Flash devices. (I have a new phone which takes a
Micro SD device, so I guess I'll have to look for a reader for that
along with the device....)

Do you have one of these statements in your CONFIG.SYS?:
BASEDEV=USBMSD.ADD /FLOPPIES:0 /REMOVABLES:4

You need to click on the Drives icon and click on the Refresh Removeable
Media after you've connected your device to the USB port. Then, click
on the Drives icon again, and the storage device should have a drive
letter assigned to it. On my system, it is H:.

When you're finished, click on the Drives icon again, click on "Drive H"
so that you bring up a "Drive H" window, then click on "Selected", and
choose "Eject disk". If you click on the Drives icon once more, the
assigned drive letter should be gone, and you can remove the device from
the USB port.
