You can run programs from it, but it may be slow (on
10baset it is, but if you need to, it works)

No, not that I know of as long as smb works.
I use (for my linux system at home)
"mount -t smbfs -o workgroup=lancasterlan \\sidney\c
\mnt\sidney"
that makes sidney's (winbox) harddrive accessable at
/mnt/sidney with full access (or read-only-set at windows
box under sharing) and you can run executables from it. If
you have wine, then you can use it to run (sometimes)
windows executables. The "-o workgroup=xxx" must be there
for some reason (in my experence).

btw, I have been experementing with wine, and might be able
to do a presentation on it, if anyone wants me to.
