Yes. In fact, the setup disk prepares the TP for Win95. I merely formatted
the hard drive, loaded DOS and MWave 2.0, then went from there. Do make sure
you have the latest BIOS installed, however!

Yep. As long as you install the SCSI drivers under DOS (i.e., you can read
it when you start your install). Win95, after all, is merely DOS heavy...  ;-)

Cheers,
