Win '95 OSR-2.1 on CD with Fat32 Boot Floppy, FAT to FAT32 
converter; $35 + 4.50 for Postage/COD, or offer.  

Full install version. USB Support.  This CD also contains 
the Microsoft FAT to Fat32 converter.

Are you tired of losing up to 40% of your disk capacity
to the huge cluster size of FAT16, P-n-Pray that does
not work, poor pcmcia support, misidentified motherboard
resources, CPUs, ect?

Well, moving to the OSR 2.1 version of Windows '95 is the
answer.

Win '95 OSR2 also contains important patches, an expanded
(and debuged) drver library, PnP that works, GUI improvements
and bug fixes.  

Yes - Some, not all, of these are available for as downloads.   
Yet - The most important parts: *FAT 32*, the Kernel and  GUI
enhancements, PnP improvements and proper CPU identifier codes
are NOT available for download and currently can only be 
obtained with the purchase of a new computer or "memphis" 
(Win'97), whenever that will be available.

The CD is the full install version. Included is a OEM cd-key, 
an OSR2 boot floppy for creating a new FAT32 partition, MS CVT.EXE
for converting a FAT partition to FAT 32 detailed installation 
instructions.  In addition to these instructions, there is full 
documentation on the CD.   There is no "paper manual."  Except 
detailed installation information.  Your current Win '95 manuals 
will still apply, with a few *highly documented* exceptions.

The primary reason for migrating to OSR2 is, of course, FAT32, 
which increases the storage capacity of your drive simply
by keeping the cluster size at 4K, despite the size of your 
hard drive.  It also recognizes partitions larger than 2.1g,
the current Win '95 limit.

I was hoping to get $ 35 for the CD, Boot Disk and instructions,
+ 4.95 for USPS COD.  I am, however, open to reasonable offers.
I will pay shipping on pre-paid orders.
E-mail for more information.
