More work on this project and some more pictures!
- Upgraded RAM to 52 MB (with two extra 8 MB sticks... I believe there is 4 MB onboard already) -- I tried doing 64 MB but my two other 16 meg sticks appear to be bad somehow, or perhaps it will not accept 68 MB of RAM.
- Fully cleaned out CD drive and lubricated the eject mechanism... lens looks OK but the drive still will not read disks. Accordingly......
- Replaced CD drive with a generic IDE one. Someday I will fix the "Multimedia upgrade" drive but for now I am using a different one.
- Installed Windows 95 on second partition - nice. Works well so far
- Set up on desk with nice keyboard and mouse setup
