well the laptop i know came with windows 95 from the factory cause it has a slightly
faded oem 95 serial but when i got it i got it with nothing but the laptop, a pcmcia
ethernet card, and a floppy drive in it removeable for a cd rom or dvd rom which i dont
have and the power brick. the original 5gb hd has windows 98 on it but since i dont have a
cd rom i cant install drivers to it at all and i have bigger hard drives but i cant
install an os to them without a cd rom so i opted to try to find 95 on floppy the laptop
is a panasonic toughbook cf-27 mk2

The USB support came only in OSR 2 and I wonder if by that time floppy
versions had gone...
Actually looking at the above OSR 2 was only on

i happen to have an older panasonic toughbook

to run an older os on it but alas i dont have a cd rom or
dvd rom for it
cause the mk1 and mk2 revision shipped with a floppy drive for the drive
bay and the mk3 and mk4 shipped with a cd rom or dvd rom. i have been
looking for windows 95 on floppy but all the copies i find on torrent
sites
arent the full os or that you cant even boot from
the img files after
making the floppy disks with raw write. would anyone out there have 95 on
floppy and or know a way to get drivers on a floppy disk rather then
having
to get the error of not enough room.
The way I always did it was to put the entire copy of the CD on the hard
drive and install from there. You could delete it after, but it was
better
to keep it since Win95/98 are always asking for
the CD anyway. To get the
entire CD on the HD you could pull the HD and hook it to another
computer.
