I can never get the power off to work.  In fact, I just tried again and 
here's the error message I get:

"The device you removed was not properly put away. Data might have been 
lost or damaged. Before disconnecting a device, you should select its 
icon in the Finder and choose Eject from the File menu."

The icon disappears from both the menu and desktop, so I eject it.  I 
never can tell if data has been "lost or damaged" because I have the 
option set to delete images from camera when using Image Capture to 
download the files.

It's a Microtech CF+II PC Card Adapter and I plug in a 340 MB IBM 
Microdrive.
