I successfully downloaded and installed a 21-disk copy of Win 95. I used RawWrite to transfer the image files onto 3M 1.44MB floppies using my A21M ThinkPad.
This is how the setup looks now:
Never thought I’d see this on a Mac:
Of course, there are some minor caveats. I can’t get 256 color...
Downloaded the #9 option on MR. Got it onto the IIfx. I had to delete my 900MB OrangePC partition as there wasn’t enough room on the HD for the Win 95 preinstalled partition (260MB in total).
Install was fine, but I get this gobbledygook:
I think it’s because this Drive C was formatted for the...
Here are my Setup options in OrangePC:
I can create another emulated HD (this would be Drive D) or use a shared volume. It doesn’t seem to recognize my external Apple CD drive on the SCSI bus. If only the IIfx had a built-in CD-ROM drive, as there is an eject CD option in the command menu:

Only way to do that is through the SuperDrive, unfortunately.
Problem is I don’t know if my OrangePC card is able to read devices on the SCSI bus. I asked that in the previous post. Still waiting for confirmation on that.
Did my particular OrangePC card ever support Advanced SCSI Programming Interface (ASPI)? Wondering if it will communicate with my external Apple SCSI CD drive.
Got the new Quantum 1.2GB drive up and running in the IIfx.
I deleted the old OrangePC partition (but made a backup of it on another drive) and created a new 900MB partition, which should be more than sufficient for my needs (hopefully).
However, I’m having problems with my Win 95 disks. While...
