Has anyone ever tried to connect an ST to an IBM or compatible?  Here is my
situation:
I just moved back to my parents' house and I'll probably be here for 6 months
or so.  My mother has an IBM compat. with a practically empty 40 meg hard
drive.  I was wondering if it would be possible to connect the two machines
using the serial ports and use the IBM as a file server.  I want the ST to
pretend that drive c: on the IBM is an external hard disk (d: I guess).  I
suppose that throughput would be limited to 19.2K baud.  Any ideas on this?
A SLOW external hard drive beat no hard drive at the moment.
