Interesting. Under the windows, the device exposes a CD-ROM (which
contains windows SW for it). It also has an micro-SD connector as some
kind of "bonus" though I've never used it.

Might be interesting to see what happens with a micro-SD actually in the
slot. Also, doing a device-reset on a multi-function device because one
of the functions isn't too happy may be a tad harsh no ?

Ok.

They do have an SD slot indeed.

Any pointer to the piece of code I can tweak to change 0xa to 0x12
(SENSE stuff) to see if that helps ?

Cheers,
Ben.
