Hello,
I finally got around to restoring my old Cyrix PC (which was in an attic in my hometown).
After waiting for the PS2/AT adapters and such I now tried to boot it and noticed the floppy drive is not reading anything.
So... perhaps the drive itself is broken. The floppy disks are also pretty old themselves so I'm not convinced they are entirely good either.
Now, I do have another PC here with some old XP on it and PuppyLinux on another disk.
Instead of running the DOS / Windows installer from floppies, couldn't I just write an already-installed disk image to an IDE drive and then swap the drive to my Cyrix PC?
Could you point me towards such DOS / Windows 3.1 / 9x disk images?
Now that I think about it I also have a CD drive here, so a CD (live) image would also be an idea to try out.
