Hello Zach:
Your project sounds very interesting. I wish you the best of luck.
BTW, I know that you can run Nettamer just fine on a single bootable
floppy. I have done this. I know one member of this list who says
that he has developed a "Pocket Arachne", being an Arachne version
set up in some special way to run from a single floppy. If you have
some "odd" thoughts about how to set up computers to run DOS internet
applications, then you have come to the right place. Have fun!
Sam Heywood.
