As for 2, what immediately occurs to me is the different speeds between
USB 1.1 and USB 2. It surely takes longer for a write to be completed on
1.1 than on 2. And if Windows is confused (as it can be, esp if the drive
is one spec and the PC the other) about which is involved, it might
"think" the write was still in progress when it was finished. (An old
PIII, 450 MHZ, with a Zip disk does this all the time: keeps saying the
drive is still being written to hours after it was last accessed.)
No, I don't think that's it because it doesn't think the writing is
finished a half hour later.
But I should would like to have this "safely remove hardware" thing work right.
