RE: Ethernet drive enclosure

["Phil Harris" <phil@xxxxxxx>]

I think that unit is about £400 a pop and - if I understand correctly - is
the wrong way round for what he was wanting ... I believe that board
"pretends" to be an IDE drive that you connect a network to (and
that "IDE
Drive" then holds whatever its configured to point to on the network)
rather
than being an IDE controller with a network interface.
