Hi all,
I recently bought a FM-TOWNS II MX.It has a Seagate Barracuda ST34371N SCSI HDD inside and 70MB of RAM.
On the HDD it has been installed WIndows95 but, sadly, it fails to boot(it gives me an error after the WIN95 logo about a missing file).
Now I'd want to install TownOS at least but, sadly again, the CD-ROM is not working (laser is dying IMHO).
So, what can I do?Can I install TownOS under Unz emulation perhaps?
I hope someone can help me.
Thanks in advance

P.S.
It is possibile to use an external SCSI CD-ROM instead of the HDD (using the same IDC50 pin connector on the riser card)?Or I have to use the SCSI rear connector?
Found this thread about:

Last question: are the FM-TOWNS CD-ROM drive proprietary ones?Mine it's a Matsushita EBP504, it has 40 pin connector and it's plug into the riser card but it doesn't have any power connector so I presume it's not E/IDE.

P.S.2
I made an image of the Seagate HDD with WinImage utility, it can be useful?
Update:
I was able to open the HDD image with DiskExplorer (and fmimg2.dll) and found that there are three partitions (the first is WIN95 , the 2nd and the 3rd are DATA1 and DATA2)
I attached the autoexec.bat, the config.sys and a picture of the missing files.
