PC extension: mount HD partition from "KCS Power PC Board" on AmigaOS
The KCS Power PC Board equips an A500 or A2000 with a miniature DOS PC - the computer can then be operated alternatively in Amiga or PC mode.

The developer describes the problem and his solution in a blog entry, version 0.0.1 of the driver as well as the corresponding source code are available on Github.
