Hi J (interesting name)
The NetGear SC101 uses a proprietary Storage Area Networking protocol
from Zetera called Z-SAN (see:
http://www.zetera.com/newsevents/mediacoverage/oct05.html). It appears
that it only supports Windows (for the moment) and requires each Windows
system to install a driver and client software:
"To access the SC101, you need to install a driver and the Storage
Central Manager software. Once the driver is installed on your PC, the
Storage Central Manager scans your local network and finds your Storage
Central device. " -

If you happen to have a Windows PC handy, you may want to install the
client software and driver on it and make it available on the network as
a shared drive from the Windows PC. That may make it accessible to Linux
systems. Just a suggestion (the paint fumes in my room may be making me
a little incoherent).
