I thought the NAS system you sell is 2 USB 500GB drives? That's 
greater than 120GB then so how can RISC OS make use of it?

Also, presumably RISC OS doesn't reformat it? SCSIform took over an 
hour to reformat a 2GB SD card recently.

I access a 1TB drive by wifi at work using 54mbps. How does that 
relate to 10/100 base?
ISTR copying about 1GB takes around 10 minutes.
