I finally got a CF to IDE adapter for my 486 machine.
I installed it and then booted with a dos floppy. It complained about invalid drive specification
but that was easily fixed with an frisk and format C:
Must day I don't think I have ever seen format command run that fast.
Anyway I tried to install windows 95 to see how it would run. I ran setup and it started scan disk
Which hangs on file allocation tables before saying "scan disk encountered a data error while reading the FAT on drive C."
Even though it seems to read and write from the cf OK otherwise
