Chris,
I can't comment on all the SW you would need to use but the clients will
work on an 8088 w/ 640KB of memory. The easiest thing to do would be to do
an install on a clean system with the setup utility and map a drive. Then
move the SW and autoexec.bat, config.sys files onto a floppy san the
unnecessary drivers.

Actually, setting up MS LANMAN or client is pretty

use them on my DOS systems to map a disk drive to my vintage systems.
Check out MS KB Q122297 "Comparison of MS-DOS Clients for Windows NT
Version 3.5" for system requirements between the two clients.
I tried getting that going under a FreeDOS install on another computer, and
all I've managed to do is make a mess of it. It complains that I've already
got TCP drivers loaded, and as soon as I type NET USE everything crashes and
I have to hit reset.
I don't even know if that stuff will work on an 8088, and I have a feeling
all the software required won't fit on a 360k floppy anyway.
