Right, I have a Sandisk 512MB micro SD card, in a Verbatim adapter ... , but 
the eeepc does not want to boot with the SD-card inserted, apparently a BIOS 
update will fix that ...

Well, here, it fits perfectly, only short coming is, it cannot accept/play 
different sources to different outputs, but, you can run multiple instances of 
it on different ports ...

FTP is after all, a file transfer protocol, but sshfs, allows accessing the 
files as if they where on a local HDD, you can edit, save copy, etc, as if 
they where local ... , no need to ftp them to a local directory, edit, and ftp 
back to source ...
