OrangePC Card on IIfx

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 to work (it was fine in Win 3.1) so I’m just using 16-bit color, which is the only option that seems to work without Win 95 freaking out.

Secondly, the MIDI files for the Win 95 alerts never installed in the media folder. I did a custom install and made sure to checkbox all the options in the Multimedia section. Not sure what happened here. Win 95 recognized my SB-2770 card, so I have sound. But the only alert I hear is the infamous startup chime.

They show up in the Sound Properties control panel, but do nothing. Do I need to download them from a Win 95 CD image? Maybe it’s a floppy thing?
 
Windows 95 didn't have many interface sounds as I recall - Windows 98 had many more themes to try.
