This could be some user error on my part, but I think sometimes it's because it's actually on, so you have to hold the button long enough to turn it off, then again long enough to turn it on.
Yup, full 10 seconds.

Once when I couldn't get it to boot, I learned via the serial cable that it stopped booting because it needed an fsck.
Unfortunately, no, though I might be able to diy it. At first glance it's basically a peace of headphone cable followed by a FTDI-like USB adapter.

That's an idea, never used JumpDrive before, now to find a MicroSD card that isn't in use...
