Since VMWare abstracts the hardware, the official answer is "you can't
do it."  However....  If you can use the drive under Linux, you can set
up SAMBA, and look at it as a network drive.  It works for me.  I am
able to use the Linux partition, my VMWare fat partition, and my native
(dual-boot) fat partition all at the same time, because 2 of them look
like network drives.

You might be able to share .dsk files effectively.  I haven't tried this
much.  Try a symlink, or if it doesn't work, a hard link, or move the
files to somewhere both users have access to.  Create a virtual machine
for each user, then point them both at the same .dsk

See #1 for answers on that.

php groupware does seem quite secure, and being completely web based is platform independant ... not sure about limits on doc sizes, and it pretty new stuff, but ..

aloha,
