I installed Win95 on a TP720C as a test, since we have lots of 750s and a
couple of 720s.
yes, Win95 works on the TP720C, but you end up using lots of 16 bit
drivers.
The PCMCIA on a 720 is by Stingray, and is not supported by Win-95, so
you must continue to use the 16 bit drivers you are using right now.
Microsoft's Knowledge Base has a report on this for more detail.
You need to keep the VESA.SYS driver in your CONFIG.SYS to get 256
colors. This is the same issue as older 750s. I removed it and could
only get 16 color VGA.
For some reason win-95 is using a 16 bit driver (in MS-DOS compatability
mode) for my disk access as well. I have no explaination.
