I'm sorry, I should have chipped in earlier. A network is a very good
solution; I have two A3010 on the home LAN along with an Iyonix and a
Risc PC. They can all see each other's drives. The one thing to watch
is that you need at least 2MB RAM in the A3010 to run the stack, and in
reality you won't have much free space unless you have 4MB RAM.
