hello all,
My first thought is WHY would you want to install Windows 95 in any case???? I just can't imagine using legacy software when there are so many better ones out these days.

You will not get much support for that operating system either, why not try XP or Vista instead?

well if we can find a driver for the pcmcia to usb adapter we could make a boot disk to install it off a USB pen drive. But this is not a simple task we would need to mod the autoexec.bat and the config.sys so we could access the USB pen drive in dos. What make and model is the pcmcia to usb adapter hope there is a dos driver around for it on the web

or you could install dos and copy windows 95 files to disks and then copy them to a directory and install but I don't know the largest files size in 95 and if it will fit on a disk or you could use some type of disk spaning program to copy the windows 95 cd to disks then copy to directory and install Yep I think this is the best way to go. Install DOS I'll try find a spanning program I have seen them around. Any other staff know of one?

looks like it has only windows drivers for that card. Do you have a desktop PC and about 5-10$ for a part to make this a lot easier?
