I use the Touch with a USB drive almost daily running TinySC (no SBS PC Server) and listen to Internet Radio without any issues.
The Touch USB Port is a USB Spec'd port. It meets the power requirements to power devices that meet the certified USB standard. Does this mean that all devices and all hard drives will work, it does not. What it does mean is that devices that display that they are certified to the USB Standard will have a higher likely hood of functioning correctly. And yes I have USB devices that aren't certified to the USB standard that DO work with the Touch and others that don't. I don't have a single USB certified device that doesn't work with the Touch. YMMV. USB powered USB drives that draw more then 500 milliamps at start up are drives that I would avoid. -- iPhone *iPhone* Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1 Living Room: Duet, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Kitchen: Squeezebox BOOM Bedroom: Second Boom Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Ford Thunderbird: Duet, Mac Mini Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78037 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
