RE: [PLUG] usb 2.0 pci card?
|
I'm actually moving this drive from my Windows XP-based laptop, which has
one of those external USB 2.0 pc cards that I can plug in, to a more
permanent home, connected to my little linux server. The goal is to make it
so I can access it wirelessly from my laptop without having to physically
plug into anything.
The linux box in question, an old celeron-based eMachines box of dubious
quality, only has a single USB 1.1 based port, which I'm currently using for
my printer.

If you already have a USB drive, don't you also have an existing USB port?
A Windows (FAT16 or FAT32) formatted drive won't be a problem at all; I
wouldn't mess with NTFS.
