Just for basic MIDI-editing. Doesen't need to be fancy. It's a Pentium 100 laptop with 24 MB RAM. Would you recommend Win95 or Win98SE? I don't know the differences because I upgraded directly from Win3.11 to Win98 (don't laugh ;)). I've just used Win95 at work, and that was a loooong time ago.

The same question for a Pentium 166 MHz, 64 MB RAM.


Thanks!
 
Ive used Win 3.1 on a 386 and 486 with 8 megs of ram for midi. I would think the latest Win 95 would suffice.
:cool:
 
Any recommended Midi/audio-sequensers for old machines? Would install my old Cakewalk sequensers, but the disks have gone bad! :mad:

I'm shure there must be free ones out there for low-spec computers...
 
I think I have Cakewalk 5 on floppies...

I ran that in a Packard Bell P100 many moons ago...
with win 95.

I can try looking around for it if you want.
 
Win95 for Pent 100.
Win98SE for Pent 166.

...and make sure you have propher HW drivers for the OS...

agree with james argo-98 creeps on less than a 166 with 32 in my experience, and 95 osr2 isn't worth it for that 166 when you can run 98se.

That would be great, thanks! :)




Thanks people!

Yes, I installed Win95 on the laptop and it's fast! I'm impressed... I haven't had the time to reforma the P166 yet, but we'll see how fast it turns out to be (slow machines is a long time ago). :D

OK, When I get home I'll look for it. If I find it I'll zip it up and
if it ain't to big I'll e-mail to you.
