For many years I connected an externally powered usb hard drive to the touch and ran its tiny LMS. It was clunky and tiny LMS would occasionally crash, but it worked. I used it because I did not have to run my windows computer to run LMS. Then the hard drive failed. I switched to a raspberry pi running picoreplayer and LMS with a connected hard drive. I should have made the switch earlier! Much easier to use. Another reason is there will be no updates to tiny LMS, but LMS for the pi will be updated. It is not worth the trouble to deal with Tiny LMS. Get a pi or check out polyvectron core32 for a plug and play solution. If you really want to rebuild what you had before, use an externally powered usb drive. The touch power supply is inadequate to power many usb drives. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ P Nelson's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58158 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115680 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
