The later builds of TI8 allow you to make two different
rescue disks, one full one and the other they call a safe
mode which doesnt have the USB support and other
stuff that can be a problem with some systems.
Sounds like you have an earlier build. You can update online
if you have registered your TI8. Worth a try, they do keep
updating at quite a high rate and that may fix your problem.

Yeah, it isnt there in some older systems.

Basically something with USB in the name.

Yeah, it can be on physically but has decided to shutdown
internally as part of the design of the external system.

Yeah, the main problem is that the search is pretty hopeless,
it wont for example allow you to use the keyword USB in the
search because its too short. Damned crude.
I search it using google, but even that isnt ideal because it
only searches on the indexes and those arent really very
satisfactory to search on because you cant require that
the keywords must be in a single topic. It doesnt appear
to allow google to search the entire messagebase.
