Super PI

Is it possible to have a bootable floppy of Super PI?

I want to run 1M or 2M on a 66mhz machine and see how she flies!

If I can't have a bootable floppy of Super PI can I boot to a 98 boot floppy and run it off a floppy?

Cheers, Doug.

I take it your 'old skool' machine does not have usb support, else you could have tried a bootable usb stick??

I think he's more looking for a version of SuperPi that will run without an operating system. I don't think there is one.

I presume you don't have any form of O/S installed for the system then?

Ummmm no.

It's an old machine I have just fouond and want to see how crap it is... even though we all know.

I got it to boot with a win98 boot disk, got the CLI, swapped floppy's (put SuperPI on a floppy) and guess what...

"This program will not fit into the memory"

I mean...

Specs are 66mhz with 8MB SIMM (I think...) memory. No matter WHAT HDD is put in it will not boot to it, just moans about no compatible drive.

If the program 'won't fit into memory' does that mean im not going to SuperPI'ing this machine anytime soon?

Cheers, Doug.
