Hello tim- I own a 250gb passport drive and it doesn't seem to work with the icon braille plus. I tried it a few months ago, with it plugged in to the regular USB port on the sync cable and the drive would start to spin/power on then abruptly spin/shut down. How did you get your 80gb drive working? I also own a western digital drive that uses outlet power in order to run and that works fine connected to the icon.

I know that the 80-gb passport drives work, but they are no longer on the market although maybe through ebay. Has anyone purchased a portable drive recently that workswith the icon?
