- It rocks, beats twinexpress to the dust :)

- Mount your PC as PC:, the C disk will occur as PC:c/ ,
- the floppy as PC:a/ etc... Also you can use the PC's printer by
- copying to PC:prt (or whatever the device is called ..)

- The only thing that onnoyed me was that if some jerk started windows on
- the PC, the pc2am server on the PC hang, due to lack of multitasking :/
- How this is with Win95 I dunno, would be cool to set up the PC to
- permanently export its disks and devices to the Amiga and still be "usable".
- I also have triesd to get such a network between 2 PCs, but gave it up as it
- would have cost me a fortune :/

- Best regards ..
