Samba
Why don't you use a Samba which is shareware. This will allow users to see a drive letter "F: for example" in their "My Computer" settings on the desktops.
The users wouldn't even know that this drive is actually a unix server.
If you then want to give certain users permissions to this drive, then you could setup group policies under windows to only give authorised people access to this drive letter?
Hope it helps in some way.

RXFORMAT(8) System Manager's Manual RXFORMAT(8)
NAME
rxformat - format floppy disks (2.11BSD)
SYNOPSIS
rxformat special
DESCRIPTION
The rxformat program formats a diskette in the specified drive associated with the special device special. Special is normally /dev/rrx0?,
for drive 0, or /dev/rrx1?, for drive 1, where ``?'' is either "a" or "b" to indicate single or double density access. The ``raw'' device
must be used. Single density is compatible with the IBM 3740 standard (128 bytes/sector). In double density, each sector contains 256
bytes of data.
Before formatting a diskette rxformat prompts for verification if standard input is a tty (this allows a user to cleanly abort the opera-
tion; note that formatting a diskette will destroy any existing data). Formatting is done by the hardware. All sectors are zero-filled.
DIAGNOSTICS
`No such device' means that the drive is not ready, usually because no disk is in the drive or the drive door is open. Other error mes-
sages are selfexplanatory.
FILES
/dev/rrx??

AUTHOR
Helge Skrivervik
BUGS
A floppy may not be formatted if the header info on sector 1, track 0 has been damaged. Hence, it is not possible to format a completely
degaussed disk. (This is actually a problem in the hardware.)
