Motorola Microcomputers also has an Ethernet link between the Unix filesystem
and a PC fitted with a 3COM card.  It works in much the same ways as the
SUN/PC NFS.  This link called PC-Interface allows you to mount up to 1.3
Gbytes of disk storage to use as a very LARGE PC-fileserver.  Text files
are converted for the different operating systems to use and a VT100 
emulator is also included.  PC-Interface looks just lik a large PC formatted
drive.  It actually takes the  next available hard disk (D:,E:,...,Z:) and
actually uses that logical drive to interface to the Unix system.  On the
PC/MS-DOS machine it looks like PC/MS-DOS not UNIX.
