I finally got around to loading Windows95 on my 701C -- and thanks to all
who sent me kinds words of advice on how to proceed (HINT: download the
Win95Setup and FlashBIOS upgrade files from IBM and install....) I used a
Mountain Backpack external (parallel port) cd drive and it worked (and works
generally) like a charm.
My only regret is that I didn't do this months ago....
IBM has Win95 upgrade files for sound, video, & the inra-red mousegizmo,
none of which I have used. Instead, I've let the machine make use of the
Win95-supplied drivers.
And I have a question relating to this use of the Win95 defaults. The
clarity (resolution???) for .jpg graphics sucks, both on the 701 screen
and on external monitors (OK: I'm looking at Martian pictures.....) I
have the video set to 640x480 & 256 colors, and it's my understanding that
this is as high as this system can go. So I'm wondering whether or not
loading the IBM-supplied Win95 upgrade driver would improve resolution any?
Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
