The full story
The poster is working with Claude on getting Windows 95 running well on an XT build, and the project is ongoing. Work so far includes emulation of a parallel port LS120 drive and CD-ROM, a 3Com 3c509B network card and an Inboard 386/PC, some of which has been upstreamed to 86Box.
On the driver side there are two new keyboard drivers, an XT IDE driver so no real-mode drivers are needed, modified SCSI, Sound Blaster Pro and LS120 drivers, and new drivers to expose the Inboard's shadow RAM. An ATI Mach 8 driver is planned next.
