Re: [OT]? USB drive on LAN

["Simon McCaughey" <simonmcc@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Tim,

Thanks for the suggestion, but the cost would be prohibitive. There is a
version of the device he has that comes with Ethernet, but its =A370 more
expensive, so it would probably be something in the 70 or less price range
he'd be after

Thanks anyhow!

Simon
