The machine is a whitebox with a 486dx-40 , 8mb ram , diamond steath 32 2mb VLB , a ide/floppy/scsi/com/game expansion card. I love to tell you what motherboard but it doesn't have a model number. The only distinct marking says "made in china"
This will be the first 486 style machine I've ever tried to use and the oldest I've ever worked on. My main goal with this machine , is to get windows 95 working on it again. Yes , it originally had windows 95 on it and it was great I'd like to use that over windows 3.1 or dos.
My question is , how do I go about installing it?
So far I've noticed the machine is too old to boot from a cd , I was considering using a newer 9x machine to load windows 95 onto , then simply moving the drive over to the 486. Would that work? I'd really prefer that method as it would be much easier to just install 95 onto a drive than attempt to use the 22 floppy disk route.
