Check this out: http://support1.packardbell-europe.com/fr/mypc/index.php?PibItemNr=platform_audiokey2#show But, as I guessed earlier, your stick probably has the same interior as mine, which is from SigmaTel. Those guys create the firmware (I think) and don't seem to talk to customers, but only to contractors. I've talked to the support guys at Medion (manufacturer of my stick) and they confirmed that. Well, I asked them to pass on the information to SigmaTel, they said they would, but I don't really believe that. So, I think, the only thing we can do is decide if we wanna keep that thing anyway (well, it works great as an mp3player, just need to put all files on at once and can't change the contents) or exchange it. Could anybody here make any recommendations about working 256MB usb-stick/mp3-player's? greetz, Johannes -- Powered by SuSE 8.1pro - KDE 3.0.3 - KMail 1.4.3 At least, try asking smart questions: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Netiquette is easy: http://learn.to/edit_messages ...and you'll get flame-free answers in no time. ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by EclipseCon 2004 Premiere Conference on Open Tools Development and Integration See the breadth of Eclipse activity.
