#How do I build a LAN?
Feeling a desperate need for speed, I plan to buy a Pentium to complement my 2
Amigas. Here's the question: HOW DO I NETWORK THESE COMPUTERS? I know I need
an Ethernet card in each machine. The bit I'm not clear on is can I keep all
my SCSI devices on one of the Amigas and still access them from a PC machine?
Does client/server allow the server (the PC) to read and write to the client
drives? Or do file requests have to be initiated from the client machines? I
don't want to shift all my drive space to a PC server for a few reasons,
primarily that I have about 2 years and 100 Gbytes of work stored on Amiga tape
drives (via AmiBack), secondarily that all my animation work will still go thru
a FC24 on an Amiga for output, so I can use a local hard drive for single frame
recording. HELP! I've seen discussions of a couple different Amiga networking
options, but my questions remain. Any ideas? Thanks much for any light
shed… — Jeff Brown, Fire Mist Media (ready to answer your video questions!)
