Nate: Yep, since the system only had 2 drives I have it set for redundancy rather than space (it has an integrated RAID controller). It can therefore loose a drive and continue to run without the software knowing what happened (although I will). The better way to do it would be to throw in 6

NI-STAR / Gateway requirements are less than those for Icom Gateway. I think Dave (G4ULF) is using a fairly modest 512 Mbytes of memory and an ITX style board (typically 1-1.6 Ghz. processor). You do need Ethernet and probably would be good to have 2.0 USB for a node adapter. John D.
