I have tried to find the company with no success.ġ. I have included the setup instructions provided by the source of the Windows 3.1 which has already got me off track as it says at the beginning that I need 500 GB hard disk.Īppreciate in advance anything can help clarify what I need to do to get the CD-ROM to work. I have now acquired a copy of Windows 3.1 so the next step is to set it up to run on VB, unless someone has a better suggestion. On the case it has some Chinese with the only words I can read being ".IBM PC 386." I tried using DOSBox to open it and it said I needed Windows which is why I am here. So the CD-ROM is actually an educational CD-ROM which has the purpose of being able to teach English/Chinese. Thanks for all of the responses endeavouring to help me resolve my quest.
