Anyone played with a Ximeta ethernet drive???
It's something more than a USB drive, something less than network
attached storage, but may be perfect in my office, which only has machines with USB 1 cards (and worse, Win NT machines tha won't even use the old USB ports). I'm wondering how easy it is to set up and where I hook it up. I want to batch copy stuff down from the network and down onto the drive, but I can't really screw around with the network and I don't want to bug my IT guys too much. |

That technology is not proven yet (Network Direct Attached Storage).
I suggest, that for now, you stay away from it. "Higgins" wrote in message om...

After a while they'll find out that there's a _reason_ that server operating systems have all those "superfluous" bells and whistles. "Higgins" wrote in message om...
