I may have said it *worked* with Miami and Genesis. The client files are
included with AmiTCP and Genesis. The server that comes wit hGenesis is
for amiganetfs, not the standard NFS.

First you install Linux on your PC...
I believe there is a NFS server for Windows, but I took the easy way out
and use Samba on the rare occasions the PC is running Windies.

Considering all I got back of the original machine was the keyboard and
motherboard, I don't think paying 10% of the original purchase price was
a bad deal.

Not really, I use MiMH rechargables anyway :)
