I am interested to know peoples experience with removable drives in a network
environment.  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.
