LF: Windows 3.1x or 95 floppy disk set

#1 Post by paintstikker » Sun Nov 09, 2008 1:10 am

I am looking for Windows 3.0/3.1x or 95 on a set of floppies so I can install a graphical OS on a IBM 701C. If anybody has a set they would be willing to sell/lend/give to me please contact me via email.

Thanks,
Brendan

If you can't find a floppy version, I could email you a zip with W95 in it. Only about 33MB.
If you take out the HD, put it in a USB enclosure, you could e.g. partition that HD, copy 'my' files onto the 2nd partition, put the HD back in, and install W95 from there.

Same here. No floppy disk version, but I have a CD image of 3.11 if you would like it. I just used it to install onto a machine too, works great.
Cell phones are my specialty. Got questions? Ask away.

Sorry, no can do.
File is too big for emailing when using my Verizon ISP, or even via Gmail.

You should be able to use any number of free file splitter programs to break up the 33MB into chucks that can be accepted by your email programs. Some of them include:

- http://www.filesplitter.org/
- http://www.gdgsoft.com/gsplit/
- http://www.jaist.ac.jp/~hoangle/filesj/

This would mean over 20 files if you are limited to floppy-sized portions (1.4MB).
