Good evening!
So, recently I pulled my old 5260/100 out of the garage. This was my first computer. My parents bought it for me when I was 13 for my birthday and I've held onto it all this time. It's got the full 64mb RAM and at some point we upgraded it to the 1.2TB HDD from the 800MB drive.
I was doing some research and saw that some are using IDE to SD readers to use an SD card as a boot device. I still have the original recovery CD for the machine but apparently the CDROM drive isn't working because a reboot+C never even spins up the disc, and it goes right to the flashing ? disk.
How can I write an OS to this SD card? Preferably from a Windows 10 device since my laptop has an SD reader. I'd like to run OS 8.6, but 7.5.5 or 7.5.3 would also be fine.
Thanks in advance, and I'm looking forward to whatever I can do with this old beast! It still holds a special place in my heart.
