1. Even for local access, you might be able to use this driver with ndiswrapper. Work asking on the ndiswrapper mailing list.Just got some more details. There are apparently 2 concerns:
One is that the Windows64 file system is yet another variant of NTFS (well, why not?) and may not be compatible with Linux. I think the concern here is in file transfer between systems, and I think they are talking about the samba-based windows network (a second option), so I was able to advise that the file system is transparent in file transfers from the windows workstation to the Linux server.
I don't know what would have given you that impression. NDIS stands for
"Network Driver Interface Specification". NDIS is a specific subset of
the windows driver system that deals with drivers for networking
adapters.
I don't know if an AMD64 version of Captive NTFS exists, but I don't see why it wouldn't be possible.
I think the ReactOS stuff is a port of Captive NTFS for Linux.
