See my other thread for what I have found that I could and could not do with this unit:

Also tried a USB 2.0 drive interface kit, a NexStar NST-350UF and put a 13 Gig drive in it and the Curtis also fails to recognize it though Win XP found it right away and installed drivers for it even though it was plugged into a USB 1.1 connector. Both Lexar jumpdrives I have cannot be used onthe Curtis as it fails to recognize them. Please post results with equipment that works with this player.
