How to distinguish between fixed and removable storage?

[pengonia]

I have a GRE PSR-800 scanner (think "police scanner" vs. "photo scanner"). The software installed just fine and everything works except for one critical piece. The software expects to see the SD card in my scanner as a removable storage device. WINE does see it as drive letter E:. However the software sees E: as a fixed drive so it tells me no removable storage media can be found.

When I'm using a native Windows box the software ignores all fixed, optical, and network drives and only lets me see removable media. That's why I'm thinking WINE is, for the lack of a better term, reporting E: is a fixed drive. Is there a way under winecfg to define a drive as removable?

You could try to set the E: drive to "Floppy Disk" in winecfg.
winecfg -> Drives -> Show Advanced -> Type: Floppy disk

That was so obvious in hindsight. It worked. Thank you.
