Hi Paul,
I can't comment on the sound and lockup problems and am not familiar 
with Thinkpads, but I have been using Chris Wohlgemuth's mass storage 
driver on several desktop systems (all SCSI and with different sound 
hardware) without problems with HP digital cameras. (A strange thing is 
that the transfer speed is only about 50kB/s  compared to about 140kB/s 
under Windows.)
It is important to install the drivers exactly the way described in the 
documentation and to remove all other USB drivers from CONFIG.SYS. 
Please note that there are several  switches you can fiddle with. My 
configuration is the following:
BASEDEV=CWUSBUHC.SYS /V
BASEDEV=CWUSBD.SYS /V
BASEDEV=CWUSBMSD.ADD /V /FLOPPIES:0 /REMOVABLES:1 /FIXED_DISKS:0
You mention that the drive object is there in the Drives folder but the 
floppy is not being accessed. Have you tried "Eject" or
"Check disk" 
(RMB menu) after inserting a diskette? I need to "Eject" to refresh the 
camera contents after taking new pictures.
I wish you good luck.
Stephan
