I can't think of any easy way. I hesitate to even float this idea because there's several pitfalls. It would be far easier to beg, borrow or steal a floppy drive. The only thing I can think of is to remove the hard drive, install it on some other PC, make the drive bootable, copy the entire set W95 installation files to a directory on the the hard drive, put it back in the laptop, boot up and then install W95. You'd need a 2.5" to 3.5" adapter to load the laptop HD from a desktop PC. Unless you have the IBM version of W95, you also need to get the right video and sound drivers from the IBM web site. [ W98 probably has the right drivers already ] And I'd bet there are other considerations that I'm not even thinking of right now.
