[Leica] Travel Hard Drive?

[fredhess at phenix-visuals.nl (Fred Hess)]

Hello Craig,

The Vosonic I use does not need a computer on the spot.
Just the Xs-drive is the only thing you need on the job.
I only need to connect this device to my computer/laptop when
I am a home to transfer the image-files to my stationary HD's.

Regards Fred
