Re: [OT]? USB drive on LAN

["Tim Hawes" <timsyahoo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here's a possible solution, not particularly cheap, but depends on
your budget I guess. Doesn't explicitly state that drives will work,
but it has to be worth an email...

ANYWHEREUSB/5 is a network-enabled USB hub. It is the first remote
networking solution to utilize USB Over IP technology, making it easy
to connect USB devices anywhere on a wired or wireless LAN, while
eliminating the need for locally-attached host PCs.

=A3175, not sure if that's incl./excl VAT, I suspect VAT is on top.

HTH,

Tim.
p.s. I've no affiliation to BB etc.
