I'm curious, what happens when you use the buddy with a card reader
instead of the booksense directly?
You can't use BookSense Buddy with anything other than BookSense drives.
It knows how to easily recognize BookSense drives, but not anything
else. So, if you have an XT, you can only choose between to the two XT
drives (if you have an XT). If you have a Standard, you're never even
prompted for a drive. It will just work. This, I believe, greatly
enhances the experience for new/beginner users, which is our target
audience.
How does the buddy software know
the difference?
The BookSense hardware has a unique identifier that make is simple to
identify when scanning external drives, and when monitoring drive events.
