Ya I'll have to test that with another computer one of these days, soon. I am curious too, considering that initially when I got my BookSense it didn't connect at first until I put the SD card in it and then it showed up fine and initialized with no problem, but I still didn't realize at the time the card was supposed to show up on a different drive letter. LOL, very interesting for sure.
