Indeed I used the MCS9865 drivers you linked. It was a bit of a struggle though hehehe. Also, the video card and network adapter, and USB flash drives too. I finally managed to get the card working on W98. It looks like your system is just new enough to not really be viable. That said Windows 95 does cover an impressive range of hardware, if you consider you can basically run it on a 386 (486 really) to an early Pentium 4 or Athlon-based system (P3, if you're realistic). maybe even ME - but by the time XP was the default, likely the hardware was such that you wouldn't find drivers for it any more, and also the legacy stuff like parallel ports, serial ports and ISA-slots were already out. You could usually run Windows 95 on systems that shipped with 98. This is work stuff, of course, wish I was doing it so I can play Tomb Raider. I'm currently trying my luck getting Windows 98 installed and working (video card drivers at least work now, no longer 640x480, phew), and if the PCI card still doesn't appear, I think I'll go for the virtualization route. The old one did have two serial ports, plus ISA slots of course. The previous system malfunctioned (it's totally fried) and this was the oldest PC we had to replace it. It actually worked alright once patched (fast CPU patch, high mem patch, USB patch.), except for the GPU driver and, of course, this PCI serial port card. Never done anything like this before, last time I used that OS my age was a single digit!
It took me several days to get Windows 95 installed and running, I had to patch it to hell and back.
It's an early Windows XP computer actually. It took me several days to get Windows 95 installed and running, I had to patch it t Enderman wrote on, 10:53: It's an early Windows XP computer actually.
