Hi Peter, Thanks for the info. I am considering this possibility, and have sent an email to Evertech with system info to make sure of the correct upgrade package. I suppose the next step will be upgrade the win95A operating System (which apparently has some problems with the CPU upgrade kit as per their website). This in turn, requires a bigger hard drive. I would not format this one for anything ;-), There is just way too much stuff in the autoexec and config files. Plus, with all the other "hardware" attached, I just think it would be a huge hassle.
My questions are about the order in which I should accomplish the above. I guess I need to install the hard drive, copy everything to it, then upgrade the OS? I just seem to remember win95 not recognizing drives over a certain size. Do you think there would be a conflict with the drive size? There is only about 300mb free on the current HD (1.2 GB) although I can probably do a good cleaning and free up additional space. Next question: Would I have to upgrade to win95B, and then to win98, which is what I would prefer to get up to? Thanks again!
