It appears that it only supports Windows (for the moment) and requires each Windows system to install a driver and client software: "To access the SC101, you need to install a driver and the Storage Central Manager software. Once the driver is installed on your PC, the Storage Central Manager scans your local network and finds your Storage Central device. " - http://storage.webbuyersguide.com/reviews/2925-wbgStorage_reviews.html If you happen to have a Windows PC handy, you may want to install the client software and driver on it and make it available on the network as a shared drive from the Windows PC. That may make it accessible to Linux systems. Just a suggestion (the paint fumes in my room may be making me a little incoherent). -- Pascal Chong email: chongym@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx web: http://cymulacrum.net pgp: http://cymulacrum.net/pgp/cymulacrum.asc "La science ne connaît pas de frontière parce que la connaissance appartient à l’humanité. et que c’est la flamme qui illumine le monde." -- Louis Pasteur
