If vfat support is built into your kernel you can type:
mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/win
This is assuming you have made a dir called win in your /mnt dir. I
would guess that you should make the win dir and try typing what I have
above. Then if it doesn't work you need to figure out how to recomile
the kernel to add vfat support. That I don't know how to do since I
didn't have to do it. I am also running 5.2, so I don't know what
differences there will be. If the above does work, you can just cd
/mnt/win and you will see your C:\ dir.

Do "fdisk -l" to learn which /dev/XXXXX contains your Win95.
Put a line into /etc/fstab something like this:
/dev/hda2 /dosc vfat user,rw,uid=501
Then,
mkdir /dosc
mount /dosc
cd /dosc
ls
Hope above would help.
rgrds,
