Thank you for your answer.
The problem is that I might harm one of my USB devices when unplugging
them this way.
There should be an application that allow you to stop a USB device in
windows 98.
Well, the operating term may be "should be." You indicated that you're
plugging your flash drive into a PCMCIA card, which means you either don't
have a port replicator/docking station with the USB1.1 socket, or you just
want the faster transfer speed of a USB2 PC card.
One way or the other, you're looking at a problem with USBx that may not
have been envisioned back the 90s when the 100CT was developed, and 1st
released in February of '98. Raymond and other list members know more about
the inner workings of these Libs, but my guess is that starting and stopping
PCMCIA devices may be dependent on the Lib's BIOS. In '97-'98 I doubt any
of the Libretto developers at Toshiba ever guessed that at some point people
would need to not only stop a PCMCIA device, but a USB2 device plugged into
a PCMCIA device too. If they did, it may have been one option among many
others that they may have dismissed due to timetable restraints in getting
the product released and shipped.
The list has been getting less and less active these days. Hopefully
someone else may have some thoughts on this.
