And when you unplug the cable, you then have to go through all the hassles
of reconnecting it again. If you don't want to ever have to physically
disconnect the reader, but jost want to remove the CF card, follow the
instructions I gave to "eject" it. I've been doing this for years, probably
a dozen or more times a day, and it's the only way to do this.

If you disconnect your card reader from the computer, then you can safely
remove the card.

Jeremiah 29:11 - 14A
11For I know the plans I have for you," says the LORD. "They
are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
12In those days when you pray, I will listen. 13If you look for me in
earnest,
you will find me when you seek me. 14I will be found by you," says the
LORD...
