- Can I attach an Amiga to a PC, in such a way the Amiga accesses the PC
- harddisk, as if it were it's own.
-
- I have had one suggestion, but it used the parrallel ports of both machines,
- and as I have a printer which can only be attached to the parrallel port, this
- is not really feasable. The best approach seems to be via the serial ports.
-
- I understand the PC would act as a server, where could I get ahold of such
- software (preferably P.D., and stable)?
-
- The reason for this is I can't afford a hard disk for my Amiga.
-
- Oh, the other major pproblem is the PC is a '286 IBM PS/1.
