>>How would I access files on a win95 machine through a bootable Win95 Diskette? This is my exact need.

>I've created such diskettes already; they even contained dual boot, for Win95 and Netware 2.12 (!). It took some 3.11 files, though it would probably work with w95 versions. I can dig up a list of the settings, if necessary.

The Novell setup will be of limited utility; MSNetworking, needed to access Win95/WinNT peer-to-peer networking, needs an NDIS driver and protocol layer; loading the Novell layer won't do much if anything other than eating up conventional memory.

If you need to access Novell severs as well as MSNetwork resources, you'll need both - I'd suggest looking into a multiple protocol driver and the current NetWare DOS driver distribution set for a starting place. It's going to eat up a tremendous amount of conventional RAM, so I'd recommend using HIMEM.SYS and EMM386 (or better, one of the third party memory managers like QEMM or NetRoom) to load as much of the networking stuff into UMBs and XMS as you possibly can.
