Has anyone tried this out with Linux (primarily Ubuntu 12.04). Can you simply access this like a USB drive.

I have not tried it with Linux, but with Windows, it shows up as a USB storage device. Two folders that show up are "Saved" and "Erased". I haven't verified what user Austin says is true or not. I can transfer files via Bluetooth, but my computer doesn't immediately recognize and connect to my Sync. I have to perform the "hold the Save button down while turning power on" routine, after which the Sync connects.

Yes, you can mount it as an ordinary block device. Also, you can use it as a digitizer (i.e., like a wacom tablet) to draw on your screen in real time (https://github.com/jbedo/boogiesync-tablet), including pressure sensitivity, clicking by tapping and moving cursor by hovering the pen just over the surface.

You can access it like a USB device under macosx, I would assume the same is true for Linux. You can create folders under erase or save (those are the defaults available). The sync app will only display PDF files. Everything else will be ignored.Be aware that things you "erase" are actually saved. Not sure how long the Sync app keeps them, but you can recover and copy them off if you wish to. You should also be able to use blue tooth file system to read files. IIRC I was not able to create files using blue tooth.

I haven't tried that, but I connect an external hard dive to a server with it and it's just like a USB on board. My only caveat would be that it sometimes disconnects if I let it hooked up for a long time. Might not be an issue if it's something like a mouse or pen device since you use it throughout the day.

My old USB 1.0 machines wouldn't recognize the drive. A USB 2.0 card in an XP box worked. Reformatted drive to NTFS. Drive also works in Kubuntu 9.04 via USB 2.0 using the ntfs-3g utility that comes with most linux distros.

I copied this from the internet search. Linux has most drivers for usb already installed. This review is from: GMYLE (TM) 2-Port USB 2.0 PCMCIA Cardbus PC Card (fully inside for Notebook) (Personal Computers)I tested this card with linux (ubuntu 9.10) and it works well so far. No need to do anything just put it into the PCMCIA slot and it works immediatly.

I use mine on a Linux machine, no problem so far; though I have not thoroughly put it through the paces.

It works great with Suse and Open Suse Linux with no problems using standard drivers installed with linux -- I don't use the Setpoint, so I can't speak to that issue

Hi, I have tried with Win XP, WIn 7, and Linux. IT should pretty much work with any OS except maybe the very old which do not support or have trouble detecting USB connections.Regards.

Short answer: yes. Long answer: It's a very standardized interface supported in almost any operating system. You should expect this to work as well as a USB flash drive. There may be some slight differences between operating systems, such as whether it powers down when not in use and how long (within a narrow range) it takes to start transferring data. Otherwise you'll have no problems.

I haven't tried it but the only limitation I found is with USB 3.0 it won't see the drive.

The unit definitely works well with Linux. I'm running a Mint (Mate) 17- 32 bit OS installed on an old DELL laptop, and the unit worked right out of the box. Never used or needed the driver disc. It is driving a 5.1 speaker system from Logitech.

I haven't tried it with linux, but the windows driver will not work, you have to find one for linux

Yes, but unfortunately not with Linux. If anyone has found the drivers and software that works under Linux, please post.

Did you ever find out if this was compatible with Linux? I see the v1 is listed, but can't find anything on the v2.

Good info thanks for posting.This is an open question to anyone who knows: Any insight into whether or not a program like Parallels would work and if there are USB issues?

I am able to use it with Linux without the software, so I assume you can just mount the drive like any other USB drive in Windows.

You sure can. I formatted the drive to use it as a Linux installation disk.

I think it does, worst case scenario it doesn't work and you send it back to the seller. I wouldn't though as it worked on 3 different hard drives I used it on and I was able to get all my data. None were Linux but they were all different and it worked on all of them.
