2896.0. "Upgraded DECstation 325c and Win '95" by DAVIDF::FOX (David B. Fox -- DTN 285-2091) Tue Jan 28 1997 11:04

We've got a DECstation 325c that we upgraded with the Cyrix 486 upgrade chip. 
The system also has 16mb of RAM and a 340mb hard disk.  Not great but ok.

I've tried to install Windows '95 on it and am at the point where the install
is looking for an OEM setup disk.  I don't know what to do at this point.

Has anyone tried this before?  How did you get around this problem?  Where did
you get the setup disk?  Should I see if Cyrix has one?

	Thanks!

2896.1We may be ok...DAVIDF::FOXDavid B. Fox -- DTN 285-2091Tue Jan 28 1997 17:137
I was able to get the name of the file that the procedure was looking for.  It
was on the setup disk from another Digital PC that we have.  I pointed the
installation procedure there and Windows '95 proceeded on.  I'm not sure if
we'll have trouble in the future with this but the system at least is running
WIndows '95 now.

2896.2DEC333c with Cyrix to Windows 95 was no prob!SNOFS1::RASMUSSENTue Jan 28 1997 19:579
RE: .0

I upgraded a DEC333c with a Cyrix chip and upgraded it from Windows
for Work Groups 3.11 to Windows 95. I do not recall being asked for any
OEM disk. Are you doing an upgrade or a clean install? Perhaps the OEM
disk required is for a video or other card it has no drivers for?
