Yep. In one of the recent software updates for the iLiad they changed it so that you can only connect to a PC when you are on the content lister screen. Otherwise you could do things like modify/delete a document from your PC while the iLiad has it open on the screen, which caused all sorts of problems/corruption, etc. It should be in the manual and/or release notes, but nobody ever reads those.

Sonist - not sure I get that - you were using the connector on the top of the unit to hook up to the PC?
The USB connection on top of the unit is for plugging in USB thumb/flash drives - then the iLiad can read documents that are on the mounted thumb drive. The USB connection on the "travel hub" is for connecting it up to a computer to make the iLiad appear to be a mounted hard drive to the computer.

Exactly. The USB on top of the iLiad is for attaching memory. The USB on the travel hub is for connecting to a PC. They're different kinds of USB connectors.
