Ok, looks promising.. but the problem now is that the pcmcia cd-rom doesn't have a power supply and for some reason turns itself off when it tries to read a cd(when on batteries), i've been meaning to order one from panasonic but havent come around to it. I was trying to install windows and get the networking to work and transfer the files over that.. but... i've only got the 95 floppy install and when its installed all i get is bsod when i try to click on anything.. i can get to the desktop and look at it but thats all i can do. so.. its either dos networking or putting the drive in another machine.. but im not really that keen with swapping hardware at the moment. so.. can anyone reccomend something that may be a little easier than dos networking?
