"Eject" should be good on all OSes. "Safely Remove" only works on WinXp.

Question two: (to IREX guys here) what is going on under the hood after the reader is disconnected from the computer?
The device acts as a USB Removable Mass Storage device which uses a SCSI like command set. On Eject, the PC sends a Media Eject command to the device which closes the USB session. The device mounts its file system again, indexes for new files, and goes to the desktop like it does on a cold boot.
