Take a look at

There is a read-only NTFS redirector for DOS/Win95. It doesn't work for
me, though (segfaults on my DOS 6.22, maybe peoplw with Win95/DOS 7.0
would have better luck).

Of course it is totally insecure, but you can also get e2fstools and read
stuff off a ext2 partition from DOS (letting people use DOS is insecure as
hell).
