- There is also a port of SAMBA that will allow a Windows workgroup
- machine (WFW 3.11, Win 95, Win-Nt) to mount drives from the Amiga. I
- use this to mount my Par Card and render directly from my P166 to my
- Personal Animation Recorder. You can't mount drives from the Windows
- machine, but works to transfer files from the Windows machine to the
- Amiga!
