P2 Store -- Universal Mass Storage, or is a driver needed to offload cards?

[TwistedLincoln]

Has anyone tried using the P2 store to offload P2 cards to a notebook without installing the P2 drivers?

I am capable of using the HVX in USB device mode to offload my P2 cards without installing anything at all on the notebook. This is important because I'm running GNU/Linux on the laptop, and there isn't any P2 drivers for Linux (yet?).

My hope is that I can buy a P2 Store so that I can offload P2 cards onto my notebook without tying up the camera in the process.

The camera itself is just recognized as a Universal Mass Storage device under Linux, and I can therefore transfer the cards without difficulty. Can anyone confirm this is the case with the P2 Store as well?

I would say it does, my notebook indicated an external HDD with a hell of a lot of partitions (or what looked like separate dirves) when I first connected it up. Then it was just a matter of holding the mouse over the various drive letters to find the ones with data (or right click on each one then click properties). Having said that I did have the drivers installed for the P2 store before connecting it up.
