Why doesn't my new USB stick work on my maXim?
The USB hardware on the maXim was designed over 10 years ago, in the days when USB sticks were 32 or 64MB (yes MB not GB). This means that many new USB sticks do not work when first plugged into the maXim.OFF and the Allocation Unit Size must be set to the smallest possible option. See the image below for details.
