I was kinda wondering about a similar solution - I'd like hook up a
C64 to my Amiga in a serial or simple network system and use one of
the Amiga-floppydrives as a C64-unit.  I want to have features like
directory trees and fileprotectionmasks (of which the latter is of
completely no use of course, but it'd be nice).  Is there any s/w
available for this? (I'd hate to have to write an own filesystem!)

Thanks!
