All it needs is the command that, at the CLI, is
RMReinit scsifs
for such devices (i.e. those using SCSI) so it probably could be
built-in easily enough.
I keep an Obey file with that command on my Pinboard, and just have to
remember to run it before (re-)inserting a USB flash drive so that I do
not have that problem. Hopefully RISC OS 5.18 will have this issue
fixed; but perhaps a softloaded patch might become available in the
meantime (hint!) ?
