Forcing a network scratch disk in PhotoShop 7?

I have a gigabit network, with a large and fairly fast RAID on another computer. I would like to force Photoshop to use it as a scratch disk because even though it's not local it should be quite fast (128 MB/Sec full duplex on the network, so speed will be limited by the drives in the RAID which are not quite that fast).
Photoshop won't let me select it, and if I edit the preferences file to try and force it, it defaults back to the startup drive. Is there a way around this?

The solution should be a function of your OS (windows?)
Map your remote drive to look like a local drivespace & photoshop won't know the difference.
If it's windows try mapping a drive letter to your network work dir & then pointing photoshop scratch space to the mapped drive.
