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… Jerry
