Hello!

I'm a proud new owner of a Drobo FS.

I got it working on my MBP running ancient 10.4.11 Tiger. If you need explanation how to do this, please see my post here (disclaimer - I didn't figure it out -- however, it's easier to set up than most 10.4.11 network locations):

# I'm putting this in the MacRumors Basic and Help section, because to me, it's the most obvious spot for it to go. If a moderator really feels like this belongs somewhere else on the forum, I request that you let this post hang around on this Mac Basics for a while before relocating it to a different subsection.
# I tried searching, but I love answers tailored specifically to my questions reguarding drobo fs!
# please feel free to help me add links to great previous forum posts already made on the forum and I'll add them to this post.
# I don't yet know answers to any of these questions! Please feel free to post below and I'll hyperlink to each post that best answers each question.
