As long as /somebody's/ bringing an MDFS, it doesn't matter who.
Does your MDFS have any particularly interesting data on it?

The only "support" for Atoms in file servers is that the Atom
doesn't process "*LOAD" and "*SAVE" locally, passing them to the
aerver via the usual FSOp_0 CommandLine call. The server parses the
commands and returns the parameters to pass to an OSFILE call. I
believe that Acorn's Level 1 and Level 2 servers are the only ones
that do this.
