connecting to USB?
i think this sounds really, really stupid, but:
How do you connect you iliad to your PC? The Ethernet part of the travel hub works, but if i connect it to the PC using the usb cable it doesn't show up as mass storage device. AArgh. Well, except that, it's really cool. |

If you use windows, you should just have to tur on your iLiad, plug in the travel hub, plug travelhub with provided usb-cable into pc, and get a removable media device on your computer.
If that doesnt work, either your computer doesnt recongnize usb drives, or your iliad or travelhub, or usb cable is broken |

Rebooting and/or plugging in the power supply helped. This thingie seriously needs a low battery warning. |

I was going to say it worked fine for me last night but then the power cord was plugged in at the time.

Hi,
I found that the USB link doesn't work when the battery is lowish, even when the mains power is plugged in. Conclusion1: The Iliad needs a reasonable amount of onboard power to be recognised as a USB storage device by your PC. This I find strange, when you consider that USB sticks have no onboard power. But then I suppose the Iliad needs more than USB's built in 5v to do its thing - it is running its own OS after all. Conclusion2: The Iliad is not running on mains power when plugged in, it's just running from the charging battery. (?!) Conclusion3: Yes, they do need a low battery warning. And bring on the power management! |
