[Ham-Computers] Linksys NAS200 Network Storage Unit

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

I also assumed they probably didn't sell well enough.  But I'm still 
looking for comments from anyone who used one.

The lower 2/3 of the NAS200 is the same blue color as the stackable routers 
and modems (I have a larger photo than those on eBay, on the sales brochure 
I received).  And the interior of the top is slightly raised.  The four 
corners of the top are lower than the rest of the top and look like them might 
fit the stacking feet on the other units.  Not a major problem if they 
aren't but if they are, it will make a neater installation.
