Apple - AirPort Extreme - Sharing says:
Just connect a USB hub to AirPort Extreme and attach your devices to the hub. Share both a printer and a hard drive, multiple printers, or multiple hard drives.

The first time I read that line, I assumed that meant I could connect ~120 external hard drives (maximum for one USB channel). But rereading it now I noticed the "a printer and a hard drive"? Does that imply that the "multiple" in the following two options really means 2?

let everyone in the house, office, or classroom take advantage of one centrally available printer.
Share both a printer and a hard drive, multiple printers, or multiple hard drives.
It's quite conflicting. I guess the bottom line is that you can share a printer and hard drive, multiple printers, multiple hard drives, but not multiple printers with multiple harddrives Anyway, you got me intrested again. I wonder if the multiple drives can be mirrored?
