Re: [OT] Virtual USB or Sata drive over network possible?

[Sean <thunderchilduk@xxxxxxxxx>]

I was just looking for the same thing, for out new kitchen LCD.

I have found a USB NAS  - small unit but going the wrong way for me. I
though about a small PC but that is pointless as I could just connect it to
the HDMI port and miss out the usb all together.

There must be a linux app that can do this though.
