[QUOTE="Sgt Beavis, post: 513047, member: 21840"] That is still a kind of iffy answer. I agree that Apple doesn't appear to "support" it, but that doesn't mean it won't work. The key is if you can get your AE disk to mount as an AFP share. IMO, if that is doable, then it should work. Problem is, I can't find any specifications saying what share protocol is being used. I've found several threads talking about mounting the AE disk as an AFP share but nothing showing it is done successfully..... All that said, I think it won't work until Apple upgrades the Airport Extreme.... I'm going to search for external drives that use AFP. I'll post the brands and models that I find... [/QUOTE]
