LINK A3000 USING RISC OS 2 WITH DELL P90 USING WINDOWS 95

I have an A3000 running RISC OS 2 and a Dell P90 running Microsoft windows 95. I would like to link the two machines together so that the A3000 uses a partition setup in the PC's Hard drive.

I have a program that enables my A3000 to access PC disc's and Hard drives, howeverI do not have a serial card in my A3000.

Is it at all possible to connect the two machines as they are, using software? If not is it possible to make a hardware linkup card from scratch?

At the university I am attending they have an Acorn network connected to a PC server. They are using a piece of software called 'Omniclient' to control the linkup. Could I use this software to solve my problem?

3 Dimensional object plotting

I need help with calculating and plotting three dimensional vector graphics on the screen in BASIC or Assembler. Can anyone help me to do this?

For example:
A cube, with perspective, to rotate in three dimensions.

I am inexperienced in BASIC/ARM coding, and wanted this for a demo.

Also light sourcing and shading. This may sound complex but there must
be a simple(ish) routine out there?
