Hi folks,
I have a nice Pentium 233 system to give away. Tower case, floppy and
CD-Rom, 32 MB RAM, 1.2 GB hard disk, keyboard, mouse and a nice, bright
Samsung 15" monitor. I can also find power leads, and probably a copy of
Windows 95 to go with it.
Anyone want it to use as a router (you'll need to add network cards), or
as basic word processor, or as a historical item? Seems a pity to junk it.
Collect from Edgmond Common, TF10 8ES.
Best wishes,
Chris

As I recall, Windows 3.1 was the last version which normally came on
floppies. Certainly our version of Windows 95 is on CD-Rom. But for some
years after Windows was released on CD-Rom, you still needed a floppy boot
disk with which to install it.

Win 95a was definitely available on floppies as I remember the set at
Telford campus. I'm not sure about Win 95b though..
