[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1828792, member: 396914"] @stefanmaine, drives with removable media work a little differently. The *device* does not show up, but the *disc* in the drive does. So if you attach a floppy drive, nothing appears until you actually put a disc in the drive and it mounts. Same for CD/DVD drives. And for those external card readers. What is mounted is not the device, but the disc/CD/DVD/Card. You might not have noticed that before, but it's been that way for a long time. It did catch me out when I first attached a CD drive and didn't see anything different anywhere. [/QUOTE]
