I assumed he wanted a NAS server of some sort that a Myth system could connect 
to, and anything running NFS and/or Samba would fill that bill.

Obviously none of those devices could run Myth in any incarnation.

If he meant something to add to a Myth system that would act as a NAS server, 
that's already there on just about any Myth machine's OS.
