In the column about multi-media makeover was “(Blu-ray media is still pricey; single-layer, 25GB Blu-ray discs average $1.66 each, and the double-layer 50GB discs are an exorbitant $15 apiece.)”. My problem is that I have a 5 1/4 double sided, double density floppy disk that cost me $10 plus tax. Yes, it was a long time ago.

Has anyone managed to get the Verbatim Mediashare Mini working? It looks awesome, but so far I’ve had no joy actually getting it configured and working.

Verbatim’s site is totally lacking in documentation. There’s some that seems to apply to the full-blown Mediashare box, but nothing at all that would help troubleshoot the Mini.
