+ <h2>Iteration 1: Microsoft DOS 6.22</h2>
+ <p>I found out that the network card included in this model had drivers for
+ all os'es including dos and windows 3.11. Thus I started to try freedos and
+ friends on this box. This all worked fine but I couldn't get it to boot
+ from the flash driver. The MBR was never installed correctly from a
+ bootable USB stick. However after I picked up a USB floppy drive and
+ installed from there it worked fine. Freedos or MSDOS 6.22 were working
+ fine. Unfortunatly, networking was the only thing that worked.</p>
+
+ <h2>Iteration 2: Windows 3.11 for Workgroups</h2>
+ <p>After doing some research I thought it would be smart to install Windows
+ 3.11 alongside the MSDOS 6.22. Very soon the hard disk space ran out so I
+ got a IDE to compact flash adapter. This all worked but gave a lot of IO
+ erors so I resorted back to an old laptop IDE drive that was generously
+ gifted.</p>
+
+ <p>Installation of all the hardware went fine, however, the on board sound
+ card didn't have drivers available for windows 3.11 so I started to hunt
+ down a PCI Sound Blaster since there was a PCI slot available. After
+ some time I found a Sound Blaster Live! which was the last card to include
+ legacy sound blaster emulation. This worked for one game(skyroads) and
+ did not work for others. Also, in windows the sound card was not
+ recognized. This all led to the realization that I had to install windows
+ 95 since that comes with sound blaster emulation included.</p>
+
+ <h2>Iteration 3: Windows 95</h2>
+ <p>Installing Windows 95 went like a breeze since it supports hard disk
+ installation and did not even required me to format anything. After
+ installing the clock speed fix everything seemed to work. Installing the
+ drivers however... After a lot of messing around I finally got almost
+ everything working: sound via the sound blaster live!, network with the
+ onboard card, usb with the usbsupp patch from microsoft and even some DOS
+ games were recognizing the sound card via the built-in emulation.
+ Unfortunatly I could only use the keyboard OR mouse since through
+ installing the USB support the BIOS's legacy PS2 emulation stopped and
+ there is only 1 PS2 port on the device. For this I've ordered a PS2 to
+ Serial converter for my mouse to be able to use both since there are no USB
+ HID drivers for Windows 95 as far as I know. Also when I tried to get my
+ ZIP drive to work on the parallel port it rendered the windows installation
+ unbootable since the interrupts conflicted. This still has to be fixed.
