	I think if you make a file designated as a "drive" for pcsim
	a directory, then both pcsim and aix have access to it.
	I definitely know you can do it, because I have one.
	Also transfering files through this shared drive to copy them
	from/to dos diskettes is a hell of a lot faster than dosread/write.
