“Network cards are another problem, since some are so old that the old DOS drivers are unlocatable at the moment. I might have some 3COM 3C905C ISA cards possibly that I can set up, however.”
Download the MS dos client here.

You can edit a couple files to enable sharing.
It includes drivers for many ISA network cards that were common at the time.
Many with a 10baseT interface.
Just select the card you got, the card configuration, and the setup program does the rest.
With those disk, you will be able to set up a network file server with an 8088 with 640k ram.
Thanks for the link. *smile* Downloaded and saved.
Quick question: any of those support cards with an AUI interface? I have some cards that have the 10baseT and AUI interface only, and those were the ones that I used to connect with the Sun Sparc machines that I also have, including the Sparc4 and IPX (I think; the "lunchbox" Sparc) machines.
