maybe that installer was bundled with the driver, because I installed it with just a vanilla SP3.

Hexon II looks better. and there is a few others. It's probably not the fastest or even fast. But I question how fast you need to be for 1997 level gaming? I should run some benchmarks to see if this is good enough for the games I intend to load on it.

I tried searching for you and all I could come up with is there is a museum in the UK that has various boxes that contain the manual and another box has utilities. http://www.computinghistory.org.uk/det/28844/Box-895-Various-Manuals/ http://www.computinghistory.org.uk/det/13499/Box-400-Victor-User- …

I upgraded from windows 3.11 to windows XP and it was stupid slow. DOS 6.11 > windows 3.11>95 upgrade edition>98se upgrade edition>ME upgrade edition>2000 upgrade edition>xp upgrade edition take good advice always do clean install upgrading is stupid. 🤣 Just because you can upgrade don't do it.

I don't know any tricks to install 98se FULL/OEM over OSR2.1, but the 98se upgrade edition will upgrade 95 any version. It is better to do a clean install. Different versions require different keys, a OEM key will not work on a retail, or upgrade version and what not.

seemed like he liked the case. I can appreciate the glowing LED strips, it's not for me though its too new. I am into white boxes or industrial type looks.

Finally, I got my IBM BL3 (alaris cougar) off of my test bench, and boxed in. I like how it looks. I don't mind the different colors or shades, adds to the patina. 🤣 I never ever planed on owning or building such a machine, it was all sort of an accident.

pretty intresting cases, looks like 4U AT server case with a fancy front. The snap for the drive bay doors looks like somthing that will break after 3 weeks though thats what kills it for me.
