[WinMac] Use NT as a storage for Mac

I just got a 13GB IDE HD for Windows. SCSI HD is much more expensive and my
Mac is short on space. I'm thinking maybe I should buy a ethernet card for
PC and install NT server and use maybe one partition for Mac application,
documents. How easy is it to do this? Are there any caveats in doing this?

I currently am running NT4 (not the server version) plus Win98. I also have
MacDrive 98 and it has an option to format HD as Mac HD. Will I be able to
format a IDE partition and network 2 machines and have Mac recognize the
partition as Mac drive?

Thanks for any suggestions,

BTW, I read somewhere that one company will have PCI IDE card for Mac to
use ATA IDE HD January 1999.

Happy New Year!
