Is it possible to have a removable drive as a second AppleShare volume? Is it possible to use it as a backup unit, where everybody on the network can copy files without connecting it directly to their Macs? What other limitations exist compare to a conventional HD? Thanks for your comments. ============================================================================= Arie Covrigaru Cognitive Science and Machine Intelligence Laboratory, University of Michigan =============================================================================
