not that i know anything from nothing regarding a PC
have you tried launching the win95 version from your dos? (ie start your pc,
then goto "start" "shutdown" "restart in dos")
may not work, but then again, if it does, the 50 mhz maybe good enough to
run it just nicely
again i sux at pc issues, but this maybe possible...seems i recall reading
it somewhere
at least my answer is trying to be helpful...hehehe
