I remember someone installing it on my old windows 95 laptop and playing it

You probably wouldn't be able to play the game without some kind of an emulator. Processors nowadays run too fast for older programs like that. I had the same issue when I revisited FF XIII about two years ago. I had to set the game to only run on one core of my CPU of it would crash. I think my dad and the guys he works with have a similar program they use for the teachers grading system because of the same issue (he's one of 5 IT's that manage all the computer systems for the school district in my home county).

Yeah, after my grandad got sick, my grandma put it up for a while until I told her I wanted specifically because it had DOS on it... Is there a certain way the 5.25" drive connects?
