Using shared volumes

You can set up a Mac OS folder, hard disk, shared disk, or CD-ROM disc on a
network to act as a PC drive.

Sharing a folder is a convenient way to transfer files between the Mac OS and
the PC environment. Sharing is also useful for network volumes, CD-ROM
drives, or other volumes that otherwise would not be readily available to the
PC environment.

Note: DOS treats all shared volumes as if they were on a network. Some
DOS commands, such as FORMAT, CHKDSK, UNDELETE, and SUBST,
will not work on these shared volumes.
