Great. Is there a way to run Windows 98SE? That is something I can actually use on an old tablet. I used to have a laptop running it but it did not survive a visit from a small child. Mostly I used it for word processing with some small internet incursions.

Cool - This is really cool. Not having immediate access to my Android, I used one of my VirtualBox guest sessions and replaced the floppy disk image with the IMG that you provided (ignore the CP/M name in the title bar.)

Ha this is awesome! I never thought that you could do this. I have a computer running Windows 3.1 but I've never messed with Windows 1. Great job!
