Hey!

I newley bought a My Book™ World Edition™ II 1Tb and a Pinnacle SoundBridge M1001. The thing is that I want to use the NAS without my computer running. And I understand that the NSLU2 needs USB connections. The WD is a network hd with one usb connector on the back, but I somewhere read that the usb on the WD can’t be connected to use with a computer (?!?!) So does anyone know if it’s still possible to connect a NSLU2 and run firefly successfully to the soundbridge?
Any other suggestions for making my NAS be playable via Firefly without a computer running?!

THNX!

It looks like people have gotten custom software to run on them, see:

and

But I don’t see a forum, or a port of firefly to it yet. I imagine at some point, a hacking wiki/forum will get set up, and then someone will port it.

Really just a matter of time. But doens’t look like it right now.
