I've looked at the cameras.xml file linked to in the above web page and 
it lists the D3100 which I assume means RawSpeed has support for my 
camera, which would explain why Rawtable provides an on camera image 
preview when importing the files.

I haven't looked at this application as yet, mainly because until now I 
didn't know it existed.

Its not so much the lack of a USB Mass storage mode, its the lack of the 
ability to preview the contents of the images on camera when I want to 
copy the files to my network storage for processing in Photoshop 
Elements, and, with some of them to produce a photo print. I only want 
to copy the files I am going to keep, so I want the ability to view the 
images, delete the ones I don't want to keep, then mass extract the 
remaining files to my NAS. Hence for me the ability to mass preview the 
images on camera is paramount, and any application that is used to 
process the files needs to have the ability to do some rudimentary 
correction to the raw file and save those corrections in a separate 
"correction" file (the way the raw interface in the Photoshop 
applications do) so that the actual raw file is left unchanged, so that 
at the "corrections" file can be deleted at any time to back out the 
changes without impacting the original raw file.

Steve
