I managed to get Windows 3.0 to install on it. It used to take 30 minutes to install from 8, 720 KB 3.5" floppies. Using Windows Write. It would taken 5 minutes to change/select a font, lol.

I can still boot my computer into DOS 6.2 with Windows 3.11 and DOS 7. DOS 6.2 runs all those old programs (in 3 colours from 3 pallets).
I have all those programs on 5.25" Discs somewhere and I still have one of my pentium 4's fitted with a 5.25" floppy drive.
I still play "Destiny knight", "Lemings", "Space Quest" etc occasionally for fun. I still hope to reach a higher level in Lemings.
I think many of the old games were more mentally challenging than the new games of "shoot everything in sight".
