The device was ~$30 at Micro Center, so cheap is probably right, which probably implies USB-ATA. Would my acquiring a 2nd one, and sending it your way help? Or running a protocol analysis help (I have it on an XP box)? It's not a MAJOR big deal, but it would be nice. > > Although the USB-ATA solutions seem to be cheaper than anything else, but > horrendous to write a driver for.

This device is interesting as it supports all 4 flash types on one device. I'm willing to do either of the above.
