Hi,

This may be a long shot, but Jaycar (an electronic component store here in Australia) are selling a "USB 2.0 networking server" which basically lets you plug in a USB device and share the device through a network, standalone:

... in an ideal world, could we plug a USB memory key or hard disk into this device - and access it directly via the Mac OS Chooser, or via a web browser (assuming it has some sort of web-based interface to configure the device).

... it states that Windows 2000/XP/Vista are supported, but doesn't offer any other documentation.

Has anyone tried a device like this on their 68K/PPC Mac, and your thoughts?

JB
