Network File System. Like Samba but faster. It's used on Linux machines
to access remote drives. I use it to mount my Amiga drives on the PC and
the PC drives on the Amiga.

Mine broke last year. I sent it back to Psion who sent me a repair
estimate the next day. I signed it, faxed it back and had my repaired
Psion back in a week.

Fifty quid for a new case, screen and stylus and the return postage
didn't seem excessive. They even put in new batteries :)
