It's not quite ready for prime time yet but here's a non-official work in progress of shared folder support:

This is super useful for transferring downloaded Mac applications to an existing Mac disk without having to make new disk images for everything
Some caveats:
It requires MiNT and a filesystem with support for long filenames. MagiC will be supported but at this point it does not work.
I've only been testing on normal Atari partitions with VFAT enabled so I can't say for sure if ext2 works but I assume it would.
Once I get such partition set up I'll be able to do some test there as well.
I don't think it's worth trying to make this work on normal TOS at all? Possibly in some limited fashion for 8.3 files.. maybe that's still useful.
Reading or copying from the shared folder seems fine.
Writing or copying to the shared folder works, but with the following problems:
- overwriting existing stuff does not yet work correctly
- stuff in the shared folder can be moved to trash, but that trash cannot yet be emptied
Enable it with "extfs <path>" in basilisk.inf, for example:
extfs H:\shared
That folder will get cluttered with many (hidden) extra files emulating resource forks and metadata, so I recommend making a folder that is just for Atari<->Mac sharing rather than sharing your Atari home folder or such.
There's a rather large overhead to it, I'd mainly use it to copy things across rather than working on things directly in it.
