Actually, it's pretty amazing how an 8088 at 8MHz is entirely usable under
DOS (or CP/M-86).
Does anyone know if MS Network can be run on an XT or does it have
286-specific code? I can't recall.
On review, looks like I missed the intent of your actual question, Chuck...
IIRC, the mid-80's IBM's PC Lan and MS's LAN Manager both ran on 8088's
using DOS 3.3 and above and NETBIOS. I don't believe that a 286 was required.
