That's good. It should detect *anything* that's a storage device.
So that's hard drives, USB sticks, cameras, some MP3 players,
memory cards plugged in via an adapter, CDs, DVDS etc.
 
It may also (and I haven't tried any of these yet) pick up other
storage devices located over a network and it *might* work
with "blank" CDRs.

Jolly good. I will need to do some more work on it as the interface
is very primative. However (so far) it seems that the principles
are sound and the underlying device detection code seems solid.
 
Any bug reports and/or suggestions are welcome.
