Use it to:
- Add temporary extra space to a DOS machine.
- Mount your library of floppy images directly on your DOS machine.
- Create a repository of utilities or files that all of your DOS machines can share.
- Provide a quick and easy backup target for Xcopy or Zip.
- Add hard drive-like storage to machines that don’t have a hard drive.
- A single device driver works with all versions of DOS starting with DOS 2.0.
- It uses less than 6KB of RAM. (Add another 5 to 10kB depending on your Ethernet card.)
- DOS 3.31 and up can use remote images up to 2GB in size. (Earlier versions of DOS are limited to 32 MB because they use FAT12 or original FAT16.)
- The server runs on Windows (10 or 11) or Linux. No special permissions are needed.
- The protocol uses UDP so you can use it on your private network or across the Internet. (Yep - start your own cloud storage business for DOS PCs!)
- Network drives are standard raw disk images that can be manipulated using Linux tools.
