Windows 3.1 On Android

I spent a good majority of the day trying to put Windows 95 and 3.1 on my Droid using DosBox, and I finally did it.

Heres how I did it on my blog that I started today:

Its just DosBox running ontop of Android 2.1, So I can still get calls. However, Getting on the internets is kinda a challenge. But I want to work with an os I am more familar with, so when I get Win95 or 98 on it. I will start for interwebs!

and lol, Classic Mac OS on Android? Heh, I'll try.

I am doing this right away! I have two unopened copies of Windows 3.11 and I think one is going to be cracked open for this. Thank you so much for the guide.

So I've got everything that I need, including a brand new never used sealed in box Windows 3.1

, except when I was preparing to start the process last night, I noticed something mentioned on the ADosBox page... it currently only supports hardware keyboards. As a Nexus One user, that leaves me at a standstill until it is fixed. I wonder, however, if it would work with a Bluetooth keyboard (I very highly doubt it) but I'll test it this weekend.

Once I can actually use ADosBox, I will give this a shot.
