The NFS problems I was having between my Archimedes and PC seem to have
been the fault of a bogus kernel on the PC (still not exactly sure how,
but I've reinstalled everything from scratch and it now works).
Which brings us to the next topic:
Both the ISOFS and PCFS drivers don't implement xxx_vptofh() properly.
I have some patches from Ralf Friedl for PCFS, but this doesn't go
far enough - it registers the pcfs mount type with vfs, but doesn't implement
pcfs_vptofh() or pcfs_fhtovp() properly, which results in little more
than a cute printf ("someone is finally calling this!") on my system.
ISOFS just has some #ifdef'd out code that says something to the
effect that "this is a good guess", which apparently it wasn't!
This would make a nice project for someone, and I'd personally be
quite pleased to be able to NFS mount my CDROM drive, or access the
DOS partitions directly from NFS. If you do submit something in
response to this, please let me know if you want it included in the
patchkit.

I do not speak for Lotus as that's not in my job description.
