Setting up windows without any input devices
Setting up windows without any input devices
I recently acquired a Legend 1155 and after many tests, I suspect the floppy controller could be faulty. This means I need to run Windows without any input method, which isn't straightforward. I'm curious about installing Windows 95 from another machine and swapping the drive. Although it might function, the system would likely try to install drivers for devices it detects on the Legend 1155 but wouldn't be able to reach the Windows 95 CD or floppies. Would it be possible to transfer all the content from the 95 disks onto the new drive and have it search for drivers in a C directory? Could that work?
It seems there might be some confusion here. A broken floppy controller is related to a specific type of input device, typically used for gaming or media playback. It doesn't directly connect to general input devices like keyboards or mice. Clarifying the context would help explain the connection better.
The disk is the sole method for transmitting data into the device
We are discussing the article from Ancient Electronics dated September 4, 2013. It mentions "Legend 1155," which is unrelated to the topic at hand. The context refers to Windows95, highlighting its limitations in modern OS installation and management.
Also keep this in mind: Windows needs specific drivers for the exact machine, which might not be available on the installation CD or could be outdated. Fixing the floppy drive and searching online for older drivers would help. Basic operations should still function, though you might run into limited color support—possibly only 4-bit graphics like EGA. If possible, a standard 640x480x256 color VGA setup could work. You’ll likely need a method for transferring files or figuring out what to do if you can’t access the computer otherwise. In simple terms, Windows adds extra complexity beyond just playing games.
Based on my understanding of 9x systems, I can tackle the problem on my own.
