I would like to wish all our Mede8er members a Healthy and Happy 2015. V4 has been the result of well over 6 months work and I would like to thank Maasbommel and Jer1956 for all the hard work they put in to make this release possible. To all the Mede8er users who tested the V3.0.7 Beta's we thank you for your assistance and very valuable input. V4 is based on V3.0.7 but with such an impressive new feature/bugs list we decided it deserved to be called V4.
NOTE: All Hard drives must have a unique name for correct functionality with V4 firmware. Connect the Hard Drive to your Windows PC and in My Computer right click the Drive icon and you can give the Hard Drive a name. Remember that each drive must have a unique name example Hard Drive1, Hard Drive2 etc etcWin7, 8, 8.1 users - Safe Removal is incompatible with the linux NTFS code. Instead use Utility to Eject the Mede8er (or shared external USB drive) - USB Disk Ejector
