Best of luck getting it to work as a video player. Ensure your hardware has the mmx instructions. Boot the machine with a Linux of some sort. I'd suggest the BG-Rescue floppy pair I mentioned before:-
cat /proc/cpuinfo Now ensure that 'mmx' appears in the Flags: line. If you havn't got the 'mmx' instructions I fear you are more of less condemned to failure for playing video. imho, old hardware + old distros + old drivers will all conspire together to ensure you live in "interesting times". Would folks be interested in an online demo of how I would install a relatively modern Linux kernel and a few utilities on a machine similar to Aiden's one? I have a 1995 vintage 100MHz classic Pentium which we might be able to catch before it escapes to the re-cyclers. I haven't had it running for aeons so it might not work any more.
