Amiga to Amiga File Sharing

[Brian Hoskins]

I hadn't actually heard of Envoy before reading this thread, but now that I have I've checked it out and I'm very interested.
As I understand it, Envoy is a full networking package for Amiga computers which allows you to mount remote drives from other Amigas on your local desktop and use them as normal drives, as well as printer sharing between all the computers on the network.  From that interpretation, I would assume it's not possible to add a PC running Windows or any other non-AmigaOS machine to the network, is that right?  So for example, Envoy wouldn't allow me to add my PC to the network and share it's drives?

Other than that inconvenience, Envoy sounds like a very good and useful package.

Amiga Explorer is a useful tool, but of course it's not as good as being able to mount drives from remote computers on your desktop and share printers.

You have given me an idea though.  My PC has AmigaForever6.0 installed on it, so could I not run emulated AmigaOS, run Envoy from within it and then use that to allow networking between what is effectively the PC and the rest of the Amiga machines?
Since the PC's drive is mounted on AmigaForever's desktop and can be used just like a normal Amiga drive, wouldn't that also allow the PC's drive to appear across the entire network, through Amiga Forever?

Or is that going a bit TOO far...
