using a floppy disk image creating tool to create a virtual floppy disk image using a file that I had to load off a floppy disk, so I can put it in a VM and turn it into a PCX, then put that on a real pentium-60 windows 95 PC

sometimes I think I'm going backwards

it didn't work so I made it into an ISO

ugh. how am I supposed to get files off of the system when the floppy drive doesn't work? it can't burn CDs, it's windows 95!

I can't put it on the network, it's WINDOWS 95

@foone serial cable transfer.

@geordie I've tried that before with very little luck. The VMs timing fucks with the serial transfer

@foone Isn't this what the old Direct Cable Connection feature using a parallel port or serial null modem cable was for?

@foone Very curious! Why is networking off the table with 95, lack of supported network cards/drivers? :o

@snep that was just a joke about how easily a win95 machine would get hacked
