Can someone please help us in the followin problem:

We have 14 IBM-PC connected with a corvus system. The system
is old, slow and most important unreliable. THe hard disk is
~10MB. Fromwhich only 6-7Mb is usable. It crashes periodicly,
and suffers from other problems.

Just next to this old system we have 19 mac's connected with
appletalk (the hardware) and appleshare (networking software),
with a 140MB disk server (mac SE). We would like to use this
network with our ibm's and give the corvus to charity. (If
they would accept  :-))

All we need from the network is the ability to store read only
files in PC format. WE do not need any file transmittions
between IBM/mac, just a huge common, read only hard disk for
our IBM's. This partition need not even be accesible from
the mac.
Printing and other resourse sharing is not a requirment too.

I know that there are apple talk cards for the PC, but I am
not sure as to software.


My question: can this be done?  Can we live with apple share,
or do we have to use another networking software? Did anyone
do it.


Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!


Thanx
