the issue i have is that i dont happen to have a 2.5" external case to use for it.
also the other thing is drivers not fitting on a floppy. i know i have a zip 100 drive but
iomega was aquired by lenovo and they killed off the driver archive for it. the other
thing is that i would have to find a usb driver for windows 95 for my toughbook to run the
zip drive

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.
