If a disk server will do what you need, this is much, MUCH more easily done
than implementing an NFS client.  I don't know what model to use these days
-- probably ND.  Then you let DOS manage the FAT for you.  If you want a file
server, I don't see where fooling with the FAT is going to buy you anything.
