Suitable for both PC and Mac users, the MAUSB-100 is automatically recognized as an external storage device by most OS versions. About the size of a lighter, the innovative helper can also clip onto a key ring to provide the ultimate in unimpeded mobility, speed and convenience - no matter where you are.

This review is from: Olympus MAUSB100 xD Picture USB Card Reader/Writer (Personal Computers)

I read with concern the large number of reviews in which users have problenms with flash drives including this Olympus MAUSB100.
Could these user failures be related to misuse or improper shutdown?? Am using it with Win98 and it works just as advertised. I download my photos and then follow the disconnect procedure. Have also uploaded and downloaded mp3 files...again with 100% success. The unit does get very warm and this does concern me, however, being aware of this issue forces me to not leave it active any longer than the task requires. Afterall, it isn't a true hard drive and should be treated with care. Fuji also has a very reliable unit with similar features. I do like this product and will most likely purchase a 2nd one....
