Jeff,
Unless things have changed since I last checked on doing this, the only option
available is the connection of your Amiga to a Novell network. The Amiga will
be strictly a client, and cannot function as a server, thus the PC's will not
be able to access the Amiga's drives. The company that makes the software to
connect the Amiga is called Oxxi, and it's overpriced, IMHO, at around $250 to
connect a single Amiga, if memory serves me correctly. In addition, the Amiga
requires special Ethernet or Arcnet cards that cost about 6X what their PC
brethren go for. If you elect to do this, I'll make you a great deal on a
Novell 3.11 5 user package that I no longer use…
