Thats where the interesting thing starts. In windows, yes in the locked
state only the "floppy" drive shows. In linux, in the open state the
largest volume shows, it was only when I put "probe all luns" or something
in the kernel for no particular reason that the sdb part showed up.
I havn't played with the locked state very much.

It is a very strange device, but It came free with some toner, and it
works so I aint argueing. Thought you may find it interesting though.

Emmm...wouldn't know where to start, and at the mooment so long as I can
see it in the open state I'm not too bothered. :)
