With QEMU, you *MIGHT* be able to get the NT4 client drivers for SMB to

Yeah, though dialling back the security on modern versions of Windows can be

a

challenge! :) Well, I'd also have to install NetBEUI or IPX/SPX on the "server" machine, because TCP/IP with Windows networking chews up a LOT of conventional memory.

I spent about 20minutes just trying to find a download location that
worked when I posted... So that might be enough of a hurdle by itself.

I thought I had downloaded the drivers with my DOS image files onto my
NAS, but may have tossed it a few years back or something. Really old
bits like NT4, etc don't seem to be on MSDN either now.

For the server, not sure if NetBEUI is a samba option, or if you'd be
better off with WFW in a VM. For that matter, I wonder if WFW VM in
QEMU on Pi would work at all reasonably. Considering how much of this
stuff originally ran on low-end 386/486 systems with megs (not gigs) of
ram in the first place.

Hmm, there was once a time when I had everything needed.

Bummer. MSDN used to be the goto for the old stuff. :(

No, Samba only speaks IP. WFWG might be the go, but that will only do IP when Windows is loaded.
