Laplink III works fine with DOS 4.01 for file transfers from/to any size
oartition.  It is the device driver that allows you to access the drives
and printer on one (slave) PC as local devices on another (master) PC which
is *NOT* compatible with DOS 4.01.  If all you want to do is transfer files,
you've got no worries!
