I was about to reformat my 1tb USB backup drive to Fat32 so I could try out TinySC and as I result I've discovered:
1) It is impossible to format large USB drives to Fat32 using Windows XP Pro or Windows 7 gui (which I assume means impossible with Vista too). 2) The Fat32 file system is not capable of holding files larger than 4gb 3) The Fat32 file system is wasteful on disk space 4) Increasingly modern USB drives are being shipped formatted as NTFS 4) TinySC is not slated to support NTFS till 8.0.1 (!!!!) None of the reasons given in the bug/enhancement for not supporting NTFS at launch add up when compared to the pain this will cause Touch buyers and Logitech support. NTFS support at release is not an enhancement, it's a necessity. Vote for the bug https://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=12675 MC -- ModelCitizen Think the third party Squeeze plugins and applets are important? Then 'vote for bug 14194' (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14194) so more can be made.
