I'd second that. I have a Linksys NAS (obtained from a well-known RISC
OS dealer who /always/ has stock... though I dare say there are
cheaper options for the more adventurous or competent) and it works
like a charm under LanMan98, being also accessible from my networked
PC laptop. Peak read-from/write-to speeds (Iyonix) with 512KB
blocksize are 6.4MB-sec/3.8MB-sec respectively. Another advantage of
course is that the setup is unaffected by computer hardware changes.
