I have been trying for some time to get either Windows95 or Windows98 running on the Tiny LLama v2 but so far have not had much success. Has anyone managed to get this working, and if so, are there steps somewhere that I can follow to reproduce?

I have tried quite a lot of different methods I can think to get this working. The most promising was this:

  • use the virtual floppy drive to prepare a 2GB SD card with a bootable MsDos.
    • FDisk to make partition
    • Format C: /s
    • fdisk /mbr to make it bootable
  • From my laptop, copy over the Windows95 setup files to a dir on the SD card.
    • I downloaded the setup ISO from winworldpc.com and extracted from the ISO using 7zip
  • Boot up the TinyLlama and run setup.exe
    • I have tried various parameters to skip some setup checks

This got me through almost all of the setup just fine, but when entering windows properly the display was stuck black. I'm using the suggested pcie graphics card from DM&P.

Any ideas?

I was able to install Windows 98 on and SD card via the WeeCee then moved the SD card to TL 2 and it works
