Now I see why minimum requirements are called minimum requirements. Microsoft’s published Windows 95 minimum called for a 386DX or higher, and my Mega PC started with a 386SX, although I had been experimenting with the 486SLC board by this point. This thing runs like a beast on Windows 95. I think I will kick it back to Windows 3.11, or perhaps dual boot with two 2 GB partitions. It will be interesting to get the network cranking under Windows 3.11 so I can do some web browsing.

More to come one day, including a detailed video of how to mod the Dallas DS1287, DS1287A or DS12887 RTC chip to use an external battery pack. Should be fun! ;)
