RE: Xy on Mac

[Brian.Henderson@xxxxxxxx]

I don't know anything at all about virtualization but I was just reading
about testing various Linux distros using Vmware, and they seem suggest
that "talking" to the "real" OS is done using telnet or Samba...meaning,
I guess, that you don't just access the main system directly. Could that
be true for all types of virtual machines?

The more I think about this, the more I suspect that DOS, in and of
itself, can in NO WAY "see" a mac drive; DOS cannot even see NTFS.
(Possibly the CD with MSCDEX, but I doubt it.) Seeing the other Mac
drives must be a function of the Virtualization engine.
