LinkStation with older Macs. Note that Appletalk
les are limited to 2GB maximum lesize and 32

on is accessed from a modern OS through smb, these limitations will not apply.

use it as a remote backup target. This password will not affect users attempting to access the
share; it only pertains to remote LinkStations trying to access this share for backup tasks.
