Errr, isn't this like trying to get your Ferarri to drive like a Lada?

Sweet! Do you think this can run on my SGI O2 [R10k (195MHz), 512MB RAM]?

And can it also run DOS programs like real Win95?

Hello;

This emulator works without problems on almost all SGI workstations, especially on your O2:) You can install multiple DOS programs ...

@zacko104inu Well, it should run, I think - have you given it a try?

I haven't been able to find a copy of SoftWindows. So for a temporary solution, I've installed FreeBSD onto my O2 and compiled a build of the DOSBox emulator. My O2 is in my storage unit right now though. Do you think you may be able to create an ISO of the SoftWindows disc and upload it somewhere? I'm sure Insignia won't mind much and it would be much appreciated.

@zacko104inu I bought my O2 with SoftWindows already installed but I'll ask a friend who knows about this more than me and I'll let you know asap.
