How much memory? Probably best to have at least 64mb. You should be able to get Win95 to work in it if you can find drivers for all your devices.

I have the same problem, a Pentium II (366) with Win98 and 64mb RAM. I want to wipe hard drive, reinstall Win95 and give to my daughter. I'm not a techno person, so can you tell me if / how you solved your probem. I gather I need a boot disk? DOS bootdisk? or Win95?

Use the 98 boot disk for 95 install.It has all the drivers were a 95 boot disk doesnt.The only thing you need to watch for is if you have an early wersion of 95 that doesn't recognize FAT 32.Just say no to large disk[FAT32] disk support.
