RE: Win95 on IBM TP720C

[NELSON Tim <TNelson@shinet01.losangeles.mm2.shl.com>]

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.

Hi.

Does anybody know if Win95 will run on a TP720C ?
