And if you're wondering, yes, the case's HDD LED is connected to the MFM controller in a display of redundancy.

Heh, I seem to remember doing that in the mid-late 90s, think it was very much "for the lulz" though as a) it only just fit on there and b) it was as bad as 9x can be on limited hardware, only somehow more so. It was only the floppy version too, lightest version around, mind you I think I only had 5MB and a dx33 in the box along with it. (5Mb because it's marginally better than 4MB and the 256k SIMMs keep dust out of the empty 30 pin sockets. 🤣 )
Yep, I installed the 21-disk B version of Windows 95. Technically this machine is sort of a cheater. It has 16MB of RAM and an Am5x86-P75. Not as slow as I thought.
