Re: Audiotron & NAS (specifically Linksys NSLU2)

I have a 200GB Buffalo Linkstation.  It works just fine with the AT and
is fast, quiet and reliable.  It's major limitation is its network
hardware: 10/100 ethernet.  Highly recommended.

It has two USB2.0 ports, one for printer sharing and one for an
additional USB drive.  It runs embedded Linux on a PowerPC CPU, which
means it's hackable.  One function I've added is an NTP client and
server, so the Linkstation maintains the time standard for my network.
