I have an Archos 20gb that has a separate power supply, when I first used it I was disappointed that it did not work without being plugged in. But the plug was inadvertently removed from the power once, and it "eventually" mounted to the desk top. It definitely caused some weird sluggish behavior on my Ti, like it was trying to spin down the drive every few minutes, but was fairly functional... -- <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Mike Bigley Maineville, Ohio http://www.norbertrunning.com Please support an American Indian Elder & Medicine Man by visiting the above link. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
