I need some way to map a UFS Solaris drive (ie, assign a drive letter to it) while it is in a Windows XP box.
I've found utilities that will let me transfer files from a Solaris disk to a NTFS disk on the Windows box, but nothing that will let me map/share that Solaris disk.
And no, putting the Solaris disk in a Solaris box and using something like Samba to share the disk is unfortunately not an option.

OpenVMS Files-11 system is in-fact true versioning file system. Every time a save, copy, or any write is performed, unless the command was specifically parametered not to do so, a new version with the same filename is created up to version 32767. OpenVMS files appear in the following format: filename.extension;version-number (ex: myfile.txt;1 myfile.txt;2 myfile.txt;3 and so on up to: myfile.txt;32767)
For example, in OpenVMS you can:
COPY myfile.txt;2 myfile.txt;4
PURGE myfile.txt (leaves only the latest version)
PURGE/KEEP=3 myfile.txt (leaves only the latest 3 versions)
DELETE myfile.txt;3 (deletes only version 3)
So far, I have not found any software that can remotely replicate the same type of file versioning in Windows - but I'm always looking.

You won't be able to assign a drive letter in Windows as it it not a supported file system. The recovery utilities should be able to access the drive directly using the disk and partition number.
