    Adding USB?

    I have Windows 95 installed on the AST (yeah everything else was too extreme.. go figure ) and it is Windows 95 4.00.930B... The version RIGHT before USB support was introduced... now im wondering if i can add USB support without having to do a clean install... can this be done?

    You can mess around with Win95 (even with OS/2 and Win98 1st edition) but there is no solid USB support till you get to Win98se.

    If its running Win95 then it's not the biggest jump in specs to support Win98. Old RAM is expensive if you don't have any lying around or have spare slots and the CPU speed may be criticised by the setup if you try to install Win98 but this can, if I remember, be overridden.
