Out of curiosity, what does that indicate (or where can I find comments 
in the source)?

Yes, I also got an email from the product manager of the SimpleDrive 
asking me what sort of documentation I was looking for. This seems like 
an open-source friendly company; just so that we can keep this in mind 
in case there are portable storage device/hard drive issues in the 
future. It looks like Firewire is also taken care of, but you never know 
what else there might be in the future.
