tim Posted July 25, 2005 Posted July 25, 2005 I been playing with some software from http://www.rocketdivision.com/.They do an iSCSI target (server) call StarWind, and an iSCSI initiator (client) call StarPort.It's really cool! The client machine will see any shared drive just as a local drive.I have successfully shared out a DVD-Writer on one machine and used Nero to burn a DVD from another machine.Yep that's right. I burnt and DVD over the network! Cool eh?It may have limited uses for the home user but this an interesting network technology all the same.Plus you need at least 100Mb network or Gigabit (like me).Microsoft do a free iSCSI initiator (currently version 2.0) but not an iSCSI target.Anyone else tried something like this?Oh yeah nearly forgot!It can be used to share out ISO or MDS images file as a CD/DVD-rom drive.Plus you can create ram drives to be shared aswell.(Copied from my post at www.bitbenderforums.com )
