Hi, I have an old toshiba Notebook- a T1950CT, and it has Windows 3.11 and 4 megs of memory and a 66 MHz 486DX, do you think it woth the cost of upgrading it? And, if it is, where can i find parts for it? If i leave it the way it is, would it run Windows 95? (250 meg HD)

Just barely as it is - 4Mb is the minimum amount of RAM, and if ram shadowing is enabled in BIOS, you might not even have the minimum. Notebook memory can be unreasonably expensive. The HDD, while not impossibly small, will soon fill up using Win95, and disk compression is generally not worth the complications and performance loss. Sorry :-( Stick with the old Win and maybe try a 'shell' like Calmira.

Okay, thanx, where do you get Calmira? And How Do you install it? Also, since I'll keep it the way it is, I would like to play music, but there are no speakers or a sound card. Some of my friends have told me that the PC speaker can play it back, but it will sound tinny. I dont have any Drivers for the PC Speaker, so where would I find one?

Calmira is here: www.calmira.org Speak.exe is here: ftp.microsoft.com/Softlib/MSLFILES/SPEAK.EXE You should try it out, it isn't great sound and it won't play a wave file for more than a few seconds but give it a whirl. You might want to search ebay or other sources for a parallel port sound card. I picked one up from EBAY for around $15 US. AUDIOMAN. It was old but new in the box. It isn't a great soundcard but much better than the speaker. Also look for PCMCIA soundcards. Good luck

You could definitely use Windows 95 with alot of free space: I have a Toshiba 486SX 20MHz with 120 Megs of Hrd Drive, and still have 40 Megs left even after I installed Office 4.0 and Works 3.0 for Windows. In my opinion, Windows 95A take up just a little more than the amount of space Dos 6.22 and Windows 3.1 takes up(Win95 is someware around 40-50 Megs if you install the whole operating system with all the tools) and only a little slower than Win3.1. My laptop loaded Win95 in someware around one minute(very good for a 486SX 20MHz). You could get Win95 at: www.crosswinds.net/~finguzfury Although I didn't download my Win95 here, I think it would work.(my download is 21 disks)

And about the memory, don't worry, windows 95 runs under 4 megs.(i also have 4 megs)

Pretty poor performance tho' I'd wager. I've had 486s and even 386s setup for Win95 - sure, it worked... you had to like waiting (even with 20 Mb RAM). DOS takes up about 2 or 3 Mb Win3x.... maybe 12... it varies I'm running Win95 on a system with 3Gb hard drive space.... drives are just about full - you need programs for Win9x to run, plus around 100 Mb padding for a decent swapfile on a low memory system.
