SF on Windows 7

Has anyone seen this on Windows 7 yet?

I am using the VentureForth compiler that is built with SwiftForth and
it talks to the FORTHdrive using SCSI Pass Through. To do that, it
opens the USB drive ("\\.\x:" where x is replaced with a drive
letter), but on Win7 (mine is 64-bits) the R/W mode fails. I can use
R/O at this stage and it finds the drive, but the DeviceIoControl
calls later fail, because they require write access.

Anyone have any clue where I should start looking on MSDN to find a solution?
