Would love AirPort Extreme support :)

I have a tall one with an external drive - would it be worthwhile trying syAP 119?

[jamesyc]

@europlus no, it will not work. I hardcode mounting the disk from /dev/dk2 or /dev/dk3

The external hard disk will be at some other /dev location.

If anyone sees this: I am requesting a donor Airport Extreme, and/or a 3-5th generation Time Capsule. If you have an extra one, please let me know.

I'd be willing to donate to you if you wanted to purchase a Time Capsule, they're all over eBay etc :) I have a pair of 4th gens, but I've owned them since new so I'm a little attached to them.
