   I just tried it using an RP2350 connected to a PC running   
   Linux Mint Mate edition.   
   I can copy files to the 2350 file system using either the GUI   
   or command line and they give the appearance of being copied   
   successfully.  I can read them back.   
   However, if I eject the USB drive and restart the RP2350   
   processor the files have gone away.  So either they are being   
   cached in the PC or they are only transiently stored.
