You can run SC under Win95 very nicely, it even supports long filenames.
The problem is the disk transfer, because Win95 messes up the timing.
You can make the PC-1541 protocol timing independent by using a parallel XP1541 or XH1541 cable. The timing independent drive code still has to be downloaded with the timing dependent protocol, but it works most of the time ;-) See the SC.TXT file for info about the cables.

Hope this helps a little... :)

Can your "Wideo Wander" grab the screen? If yes, it would be nice if you could grab the plus4 colors. It would be one more reference towards getting a correct color table for the emulators.
