JAmerican Why Does Palm Disappoint? Join Date: Aug 2004 Posts: 5,909	The UXDrive I finally got a MS Duo to MS Adapter. So I decided to test out some of my bro's MS Duo stuff on my UX . One was the 4GB hard drive he got for his device. I noticed that at first that it wasn't being reconized by my device (which had the FAT32 installed on it) but after a few tries (3) and resets (1), it worked like a normal MS. One thing I did notice was that I was able to play movies on my device just like with a MS but it drained my battery much quicker. I also had not finished charging my UX since my EB40 battery mod. So when I do I will probably let you know how that goes. As for video viewing, I had to use TCPMP not FMP because for some reason, the FAT32 allows FAT32 devices but SONY's software causes your device to crash when using FAT32 devices. I also wasn't able to keep my device charging while the hard drive was in use due to the massive power consumption. Anyway, if you have any questions, let me know.

So, the magazine reccomends to use the power cord that shipped with the disk whenever possible! __________________ http://www.palmfilefind.com - find files on your memory card Visit my blog at http://tamspalm.tamoggemon.com to learn more about the PalmOS platform!

(Clamshell with HD) Maybe you should get one yourself, open it up and try some mods such as adding an external power supply for the HD; or even putting in a 20gig HD Actually, it would be much more elegant if it was just a 4gig memorystick, but I don't think much people can afford a 4gig MS(or is it avaliable yet??) Also, we don't know if that FAT32 driver is compatable with a a 4gig MS, since Sony is already reporting incompatabilities with Clies and 1gig black memorysitcks... --- By the way (off topic), I was always wondering how you kept your UX in such good condition? My 2-year-old NX is chipping off paint on several places. __________________ My devices: NX73V -> TH55 (primary) my blog:http://intellidryad.blogspot.com/ Get Firefox, the ultimate browser!

How are you able to view the movies with your 4GB HDD? Maybe it's a problem on my end, clarify that for me JAm.
