Mounting a local Vollume via AFP

[Steve Steinitz]

Hello,

I would like to access a local volume as if it were an AFP mount.

I've written a Core Data application.  I had hoped to share it among
two users: one accessing the database from the internal drive and one
accessing it remotely via AFP.  It didn't work - only one user at a
time can access the database file.  An Apple employee explained that
both users must access the database file via the same protocol and
suggested that I buy a third machine to host the database file.

That is certainly an option but the application is a point of sale
system on the floor of a busy retailer.  A network connection might be
too sluggish.  For the remote user speed doesn't matter.

Which brings me to back to my question.  The Finder's Connect to
Server command dis-allows connection to a local disk.  Do any of you
know how to circumvent that?

Thanks for any ideas,

Steve
