If so, I'd probably try to go with more default ones, like Intel 486 DX2-66 (or DX4-100 if available).
Also 2GB with Fat16 might be "asking for trouble", back then 500MB-700MB was about the biggest top-notch size for hard disks, with 256MB being the standard. Don't remember entirely right now, but I think it was Fat32 which started to support sizes from 2GB on, and that was introduced with... Windows 98SE? Not yet with Windows 95 I think.


Have you tried running Win 3.1 in DosBox instead, using
these instructions? That might also help avoiding some problems on PCem.

Yeah, but I find PCEm to make it more of a authentic old PC experience.
