Yes the mass storage class drivers are robust... if they are implemented correctly on the device side. There are many problems getting it to work right on 64 bit machines. This seems to be the problem with the Nautilus. I run Win 7 Pro 64 bit. Windows sees the unit as LFLN in mass storage mode...
No answer yet.
i solved the problem by connecting it to an old xp computer. That allowed firmware restore and then update.
i don't understand why device manufacturers want to use the usb mass storage class for firmware updates. That class is designed for harddisks and external storage. The unit...
Well that's just spiffy ... a brand new lifeline unit. charged it to 100% , download software , install ...
it tell's me there is a firmware update. So i click update. screen goes blank ... and that's it. nothing happens.
The unit is dead.

Allright. I just got confirmation from Atomic ( and a tracking number ) that a new one was shipped overnight.
So, Big thanks to Darcy, Adan and Ron.

If I hadn't called...
In this case it's not the electronics that fail... the bloody damn thing leaks water ! and that kills the electronics. The root cause is water leaks ! that is VERY bad for a device that has an intended usage underwater. Here's your new fleet of submarines Mr President. they're the most advanced...
Well , here is my perspective :
Suunto cobra : 1200 dives + dives : 0 problems
Citizen Hyper Aqualand : 1500 + dives : 0 problems
Cobalt 1 : 31 dives : water leak on sensor : dead : lost 2 days of diving : had to rent computer
Cobalt 2 : 35 dives : water leak on sensor : dead : waiting for...
??!? and you find that acceptable ? I don't ... If it were a 100$ piece of junk made by one-hung-lo I'd shrug it off. Not if it's a 1200$ piece of equipment made by a company that prides itself to be the 'best'. Keep in mind that these problems have been with TWO individual machines. First one...
