Not sure what you mean here. Clearly I can't be using the pre-loaded s/w to backup from the Iyo, not that it would work anyway. However I have a folder at the root directory of the SimpleSave which just contains files which were created on the Iyo and transferred via the Network drive to a PC and then onto the SimpleSave. I was hoping to be able to access this folder directly from the USB port on the Iyo. But the drive isn't wanting to crank-up. > I've got an HP 2GB usb memory device which works on a Unipod in an > RPC, works (slowwly) on a PC, and freezes the Iyonix solid. > Not all USB devices are compatible.
