Hacking the WD Mybook 2 with Perl
- Building a cheap and very compact Linux NAS appliance
- Polishing it with Perl glue
I am using Perl glue to put together a cheap and small Linux NAS from the
Western Digital Mybook II - there are a bunch of hackers doing this, but I
wanted mine to have a certain "detail" and so some scripting here and there
was required to make it happen - obviously in Perl.
Not to spoil the talk, but how about posting a bit of info on the Mybook
II in advance of the talk. In particular, any recommendation for
particular hardware versions, if there are multiple versions. I see
BestBuy has some Mybook devices on sale this week, but it appears none
are the Mybook II-type with a net connection.
Is there a main web site for info on hacking the Mybook II?
How does it compare to the other best known hackable NAS device, the
Linksys NSLU2 ("slug")?
