Blodwyn, I'm assuming you formatted the 8GB to be HFS+ via your Mac directly first (stupid question, but just to verify) ?

Yes, it's in HFS+ format. I liked the idea of a Thumbdrive as it's silent - the Coolmax drive spins continuously so the internal fan cycles on and off. An 8GB Thumbdrive would have enough space for my purposes, but I couldn't connect to it for some reason. I've got a few different Thumbdrives, maybe I'll try them one by one and see if any of them work

I like your thinking. Odd that it wouldn't work though. I wonder what the difference is, from the AEBS's perspective.
