It would be except thats not what he wants. Things like the developer
CD, where you have files with .¶ extensions, accented characters
etc,
all don't work with the PC CDFS. So when you simply add the PC drive
as a directory under UAE, you don't get all these proper characters
making StormC a real pig to install from said CD.
To Roger, I don't think it would be possible, I ain't tried it but
you
probably can't access the PC hardware directly from the emulated
Amiga, unless someone wrote a specific device (like what they've done
with the uaegfx card).
