For example, this sentence stands out: "The Device Management software is available for both Windows and Mac OS 10.x ." It is possible that you have the hard drive equivalent of a Winmodem. It may be a bit late to bring this up, but when I wanted an external fileserver I bought one of these: http://www.intel.com/design/servers/storage/ss4000-E/ It costs a bit more but it does hardware RAID and a lot of of other things. It's also mountable as a standard NFS share. And it even runs Linux as its own internal operating system. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com
