I used the DOS drivers for the one machine with USB at the school. They wouldn’t behave from within Win95, but in pure DOS I could transfer files from my USB stick to the machine.
Fantastic MSFN link, BTW. I wish someone would make a Win95 OSR1 version of it. Do you have pics of your setup with the machines?

Probably too late now but I used a boot-floppy that will enable the USB ports, uses universal drivers for DOS. Got our *nine* IBM PC 300 GL fully updated w/ Win98SE and unofficial service packs. Plus MS Office XP!

No working CD-ROMs here, unfortunately. One machine had USB but it died. so if you have the Win98 floppy disks, then by all means…

haha, you don’t slow until you’ve worked on a computer designed when Win3.1 was new.

Oh boy, Win3.11… Memories…

Paul, if you want, I can bring a fully licensed CD (assuming your PCs have CD drives) of Win98 to donate to your school. I won’t make it to Kenya until March, inshallah, so you’ll have to wait a while. Maybe someone in my training group will be posted in or near Mombasa, they can deliver the disk to you.

Any modern computer would be fast enough. If it’s cheap, just make sure it has a lot of RAM. I would say 2GB minimum if it’s new.

Paul – what do you mean by “remember when?” it’s a big part of my day to sit in front of slow computers. I looked at refurbished and new ones at Frye’s the other day. any suggestions?
