If iLiad does, then we don't have to use iRex's companion software to copy files from PC to iLiad.
You definitely don't need the companion software. A PC should be able to mount the iLiad as a generic "removable drive" via USB. I just meant that I didn't think a Linux PC would assign it to the /dev/sdb device (which is typically reserved for a HDD). I assume there would be another device name used for external USB devices (although it's possible that Linux is just doing a mapping to give it a more common name). The other thing I'm not sure of is if they're supposed to be formatting the raw device, or if there is supposed to be a partition. IE, /dev/sdb1 instead of just /dev/sdb
