I'm actually running Win98 on a 755CE with 16MB and 360MB hard drive!
A minimal install fits just fine, as well as IE 4 and all the win98
install files. I think I had 60MB free, but if I removed the win98
install files, that would free up another 100MB for small apps.
It's slow, I should have used Win95, but I don't have it. I think
Win95's install files were only 60MB, and a typical install around
100MB. That would leave room for mail, netscape, and IE 3. My IBM
PC110 palmtop had a 340MB hard drive, and I had win95, IE3, Outlook97
(for mail), and Netscape Navigator on it.

I bought a 755CE 10.4TFT, 16MB RAM, 360MB HD, 33.6 Mwave, P75 upgrade,
power supply, but no battery for $86 on Ebay.
