Default i have one...i have not had any problems - and i don't even use the "official" software

i have a mac so I use PhatMac software, and I have had no problems.

If your software is not recognizing the DMS you might want to check the USB port its plugged in to.

Default try this??

if you take the dms apart, you can try connecting it direct using a hard drive adapter, its happened to me before, and that worked, after I did this the computer picked it up when I next plugged it into the dms dock.

if this doesn't work, try going to

www.phathack.com

That lot there seem to know everything about the thing.
