Call me a wiseass, but to my knowledge you can only mount stuff like
floppies or other disks... :-)

Well, yes, Micro$oft seems to _port_ WinNT to the PowerPC (PREP) platform

WindowsNT has its own kernel. It has nothing to do with Apple, except that
Apple is porting MacOS to the PREP platform as well (they still use their
own propriertary PowerPC platform).

Hope it helps
