Support our economy - go and buy some New Zealand lamb, dairy products or wine! Just a wee plug -  |
That's one thing I noticed from my time in NZ. Your country very much supports it's own business. When I flew in on Air New Zealand everything I was served was labeled "Product of New Zealand." Bet you won't find that on American Airlines. Beautiful country you have, though I confess I don't understand the facination with corogated metal.

That's a shame about the hard drives. To answer your question Nzer you'd just use an external USB hard drive and connect it via the USB port or through a USB hub connected to the USB port. I had a similar problem to what they mention with my KIV-BT901 from Kenwood. Half the time it would power up the drive, the rest it would power it but not see it. I'd have to disconnect/reconnect after the unit was up and running to get it to "see" the hard drive.
Trashed675, were these prebuilt external 2.5" drives like the WD My Passport series and the Seagate Slim Portable series, or was this a home brew kit using an external drive enclosure and a laptop/desktop drive?
