Re: [OT]? USB drive on LAN

["Dave Ward" <DFHWukha@xxxxxxxxx>]

Stuart,

Doesn't the NSLU2 use the EXT3 file format?
I don't think it will read or write FAT, FAT32, or NTFS disks :(

The new Apple Airport Extreeme basestation will support USB FAT HDDs
but it's =A3100=20

I don't know about this particular USB-HDD-Media player but I thought
they only go into media player mode when disconnected from the USB host?
