You have INTERSVR and INTERLNK from MS-DOS and Lantastic 4.1 that can be used to access the drives of another PC over the LPT or COM port as if they were part of your own directory. I'm quite well in programming in ASM and Pascal and I want to program such a tool myself. So I searched internet and ran into EtherDFS. Looked like a nice start but it stated that the server part should run on a Linux machine and the source for this program was not given. And my tool should be able to run on 8088/8086 machines, both server and client.
I had a look at RAMdrives. But I cannot see how to use this in combination with I/O ports. And even if I saw it, I just have the client side. How to handle the server side? or is it as simple as "just sending the info the client needs"? If the client needs the directory, what should be sent, the text as it woud appear on the screen or just some raw data?
Who is able to help me with some pointers, please?
Many thanks in advance!
