What am I doing wrong with FreeDOS and mounting a Samba file share?

I have a Virtualbox image I found at https://www.lazybrowndog.net/freedos/virtualbox/?page_id=33 which seems to have everything ready for networking. I have Samba installed on the host Linux machine. From the host I can mount the share, but not entirely on FreeDOS. The best I can manage is read-only access if the "valid users" parameter (below) is removed.

I managed to get this to work a few years ago and recall that the solution has something to do with using SMB protocol 1. None of the guides I find now for mounting a share from FreeDOS mention this and Samba now seems unwilling to admit it knows anything about SMB1.

Here's what I have for the share in /etc/smb.conf:

[Dave]
  comment = Dave's stuff
  path = /home/dave/foobar
  read only = no
  guest ok = yes
  browsable = yes
  writable = yes
  valid users = dave
