    Yes...

    it's rare that you will get 2 people on at the same time and even more rare that they want to play the same doorgame.

    You're probably right.

    With QEMU, you *MIGHT* be able to get the NT4 client drivers for SMB to
    work with relaxed server config... that may work with share.exe tsr,
    then you'd need to do a drive mount to an SMB windows file share.

    Again, *might*.

    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.
