DATA ABORT

I know it _could_ be confusing, but that is why I always specify which version I'm using.
When troubleshooting issues, more datapoints are always handy; and people can be alerted when there are new features added since the version they are using (as in my case here).
Llorean:
When someone says "Current Builds of Rockbox have USB enabled" and you say "Well, for my version..." your use of language indicates that you feel your version is working differently than it should.
If you wish to help and provide support in this forum, it's your responsibility to keep up to date with how Rockbox changes. Many users don't know about revisions, so they might not be aware that the revision number you quoted isn't the current build. It's not their responsibility to know, it's yours to be as knowledgeable and clear as possible if you wish to be helpful.
Generally, don't talk about builds that aren't current at all, unless it's a discussion involving the last release. If you wish to discuss behaviour you're experiencing, update to the latest build and make sure it still happens.
More datapoints aren't always handy. Irrelevant ones (such as ones for builds that we no longer provide support for) just confuse those who don't know that they're irrelevant.

Well, yes, my version _is_ working differently. That's way I responded with what version I had, because it was not entirely clear from Chronon as to when the feature was added. So I could find out if my version was supposed to have it or not. He then very helpfully replied that my version didn't have it, so I haven't said anything since; no time yet to update.
I do try to stay up with when features are added to Rockbox, and I do recall discussions about USB Support being tested, but never saw any "announcement" that it had been added to Current builds. 'Tis possible I may have missed it. If so, where should I have been looking?

In general, if you haven't put forward the minimum effort to make your reply useful or informative, you probably should not make it at all.
