My mPower recognized my external drive without any problem. But my drive
has its own power source and it doesn't rely on the usb connection for
power.

About your drive, your talking about an external hard drive, right? Is
this particular one known to work with the bn? Also, how is it formatted?
I assume that hw has not changed the requirement that drives must be
formatted in fat. Taking a while to recognize is also something that used
to happen with the MPower.

I'm glad you don't have to send the unit back to HumanWare. However,
this problem should have been discovered during beta testing.
I've been a HumanWare customer since 1995, and the company has changed
over the years and I'm afraid these changes are for the worsst not for
the best.

Hi, all. Gabe from Humanware called me today. I plugged in my card
reader, after doing the various resets and stuff, which I'd already done
on my own, with the same result: The Apex just sat there. We started
talking and puzzling and wondering and thinking, and after about a
minute or two, the Apex suddenly said "hard disk ready". So it appears
to be an issue with the Apex taking a while to recognize the USB
connection, rather than a problem with the USB ports, thank God! I
really didn't want to send the unit in after just getting it. So until
they figure out a way to get faster recognition, I just need to be
patient with the Apex I guess. This was using a card reader with a
two-gig CF card in it, so I imagine to get my Western Digital Passport
80 gig drive to work, I'd have to plug it in before going to work on
Monday, and maybe by Friday it would be recognized. <grin> We tried the
Passport, but it just clunked for a while, and never got recognized.
Gabe is going to see if they can put a .zip version of the update on the
website so I can get it. If they can, hopefully the update will speed
things up. If they can't, I guess I'll be at this build of Keysoft 9
for the rest of my life. <grin> I'm trusting they'll be able to get it
up, and I'm so relieved that I don't have to send the Apex back in!
