>From personal experience a minimum win95 installation is in the order of
270Mb. This was for win95 osr2, using fat32 FS. As for the win95 distribution
ie cab files etc, these are about 70Mb.
I would recommend either an earlier IE version or netscape 4.x as IE5 will
steal lots of your precious disk space. Not sure about outlook etc.
You will also need [finger in air] ~80Mb swap space.
I reckon you can do it. I'd certainly give it a go.
No idea on prices although I paid £180 for my 760CD from a work
colleague. He was given it from his last employer and it had hardly
been used. Even the mouse nipple looked new and clean.
Hope this helps.

Subject: 755CE - win95 in 540meg ??
I have a 755CE in excellent shape - 40 meg; 540 meg; external backpack PP
CD available. I have a friend who is interested if he can reasonably run
W95 on this machine - mail, netscape (and IE) and not a lot else and don't
currently have any info on how much space a w95 installation requires.
His Toshiba (which is in the process of being preempted by his wife) is
currently using about 1 gig of a 2 gig drive; looks like getting rid of
the cab files alone would clear up a goodly amount of space, and a minimal
install should get rid of some fluff, but I have no idea what is required
for a reasonable setup.
Another question - what's a fair price for this machine?
Thanks.
