It's not clear that OnStream is the answer here. I lost some of my
interest in supporting OnStream when they weren't particularly interested
in doing a changer. Not only is the amount of running around with this
device grief, but for only 25-50GB? It's true that it's a cheap drive, but
you know, therere are definitely other devices out there too.
