I remember that the 8050s could connect to two C-64s, we used those
in our computer lab. Maybe, if you could connect them all together,
they could share the same drives?
Shrug, I dunno, not really being a C64 guy. But it sounds reminiscent of the CORVUS HD system for the Apple II/PC amongst others... was basically a 20 or 40 Mb MFM drive with interface cards. Wasn't quite so much network as resource sharing.
