But ezkcdude, you still haven't addressed the simple question: do you
propose the server functions (hardware & software) go in the SB or in
the USB/SD device?
The best way to make this a plug & play option is perhaps to create a
dedicated slimserver box with a USB interface that you connect one or
more HD's to and a wired ethernet interface that connects to your wired
network or wireless access point. Store the OS (Linux of course) and the
slimserver code in flash (with some update function), add Samba to allow
PC's to transfer files and you're done. Many, many people dislike the
idea of leaving PC's on all the time. This would be the answer to that.
Such a device could be made for $200-$300 and would make the SD system
pretty much plug and play and ready for a whole new market.
BTW, we need a name for the whole system, how do I refer to it?
Slimserver/SliMP3/SqueezeBox/Transporter?
This sounds to complicated for newcomers.

Peter
