I'll give that another go then, I didn't get a USB external drive to work on mine and when I went hunting for answers I noted that their were no options for external drives present for the Airport Express in the Airport Utility so I just assumed that you could only hook up a printer to the Airport Express and thus did no further work or research.

either.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that the USB port on your Airport

Dane,
        I stated that in my message, the USB is intended by Apple for a 
printer.  My question is can it be used for a external drive?  Sometimes Apple 
devices can do more then what is stated.  For example my Time Capsule is 
supposed to be able to run a printer or a external drive but the Apple tech 
people tell me off the record that I can hook up to 4 devices using a powered 
hub.  So my question is can I use my express for a drive with the usb?  Is 
anyone out there doing that?

Thanks.

Dear list.

        I have a Airport express that is extending my network and used for 
playing music.  there is a USB port on there for a printer.  Can that be used 
for a external storage drive?  If so how do I find it, on my computer,  once I 
plug it in?

Feel free to tell me I'm being silly and or it can't be done.  It's just I have 
a old drive and the space over by that machine. A little extra storage never 
hurts.
