Hi,
I have a USB hard drive that also operates as a media unit having TV output connections and its own 'operating system'. This allows me to store music and videos on the drive and then plug it into my TV.
To copy files I connect to my PC via a USB and all works fine.
What I would like to do is leave the device next to the TV and have some sort of converter that I can plug into the USB port on the drive that will allow it to be recognised by my PC as a network drive. I guess it is sort of like a wirlress print server but for a disk.
I do have a print server but it definately only has the capability to handle a printer and needs software drivers loaded onto the PC to address the server correctly.
So, has anyone come across somethng that might do the job? I do know that I can buy wireless disk drives but I am not interested as I need to use this existing USB unit.
Thanks
Mal
