I'll then be able to share my printers, my hard drive, and floppies. it's not the _best_ solution, and it will be somewhat slow (but not terribly slow-the atari diskdrive communicates at 19.2k, and I think i can squeeze that out of a p:r: connection, so it shouldn't be any slower than a 1050 floppy, which is 'acceptable' -m
