Interesting, but it requires:
a) The purchase of a $50+ piece of hardware
b) That you store all your images on their web site.
DriveWire requires that you build a single cable (peanut expenditure) and
let's you store things on your own computer.
Maybe I'm just a curmudgeon, but I do not like the current trend towards
putting my own data on third-party remote sites.

For the Commodore users out there, you might want to look at the Comet from
http://www.commodoreserver.com. They've got a new driver out that allows for
a 38.4k transfer rate on the USER port, which is a pretty big deal on a
Commodore 64. I've got a Comet and it works VERY well. > Is
this SLIP or PPP?
Neither. It's a well thought-out (and documented!) protocol for
interface
between small 8-bit machines and modern hardware. There's nothing
specific to the CoCo - that just happens to be the first implementation.
I just looked at it on sourceforge. It seems like the same setup of a
Lantronix UDS or Wiznet-type device. Those are a little more portable.
