yea.  That looks like it provides a real drive letter.
I thought they only did a windows GUI that allowed drag-n-drop.
I'll be needing regular old file access for number-crunching.

Any idea how the speed compares between ext2 under Windows,
and the new (writable) ntfs3g driver that Matthew mentioned?

In the past, I have been unable to get windows to recognize
two windows partitions on the same disk (as different letters).
I know it can be done.  I see it all the time.
I just don't know how to tell windows to format some partition,
make a filesystem, and mount it.

Hopefully this will be part of the regular setup procedure for the ext2 
driver.
