Obtained a nice Aptiva (original Pentium 100MHz, now 166MHz, 64MB RAM, original 1.2GB HDD, optical drive etc. Everything works and I wanted to make fresh original W95 install using original Aptiva recovery media (for 2144-M51 which uses same hardware, including Opti chipset system board or planar as IBM calls it) but ran into obstacle: boots just fine with original boot disk mounted to Gotek, prompts to format HDD which it does without problem, then begins to load from CD and throws error 99 - invalid path specified and stops at DOS prompt C:\.
CD access does not seem to be a problem, can easily access it from DOS (it is drive D).
Any ideas?
Many 3Dfx and Pentium III-S stuff.
