Never mind - I fixed it. The company has a discussion forum for product users (I like that) and someone there posted that you can "update" the driver from the default MTP to a USB storage device. That did the trick - now I can see it like a drive. I think I'll have problems with copyrighted materials but I'll worry about that if/when I have to. - Tom -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
