I see a lot of people frustrated with making the Touch work
with an external USB hard drive. After some work and investigation,
I now have TinySB working as I want. I wanted to share my experience,
so that people who want to use TinySB have a better chance at success.
With much interest I read the opening post. For over half a year I've
been doubting if I should buy a SB-Touch or not. The setup I want is
the same like Jeans: a Touch fed by an external USB-disk.
I don't like the thought of energyconsuming NAS under my desk, even my
babygirl has 'green'lightbulbs in her bedlighting. The only device that
may make my electric meter go rinkle is my beautifull vacuum tube
amplifier :)
So I was thinking to buy a USB-powered WD 160Gb Elements and a SBTouch
and hook it all together. My question to you is: is it the best choice?
In the posts you wrote I sometimes read some cynism and it makes me
wonder if I'm doing the right thing. I do know a thing or two about
computers and Linux etc, so a bumpy road won't make it impossible for
me to get to my destination. But if the SBTouch turns out to be a 10k
miles journey, I might get an alternative.
