These are the notorious mode switching devices. In Windows, they 
obviously install a special storage driver doing one specific action 
on each following plugging.
This action - some storage or control command - will "flip" the 
device, making it "disconnect" and returning as a completely different 
composite device.

Storage commands used for this procedure range from "SCSI rezero" over 
"passthrough" to "SCSI eject", or involve vendor specific stuff.
