This is probably of interest only to a very small number of people on this
list, but this evening I have accidentally discovered that the Meizu MX4
Ubuntu Edition's USB seems to work really well with Windows 10 on a Surface
Pro 3.

This was a completely accidental discovery, as I plugged my MX4 into this
laptop to charge its battery.    This isn't my primary laptop, just one
which I am using purely for Windows builds which I need to do as part of my
work.     But the media drive just popped up and worked a treat.

Just another interesting data-point!    This same device has never really
worked at all when connecting to my MacBook Air.

I will be retiring the MX4 imminently anyway, because I have just taken
delivery of an MX5 Pro :-)
