Booting up every leaked Windows 95/Chicago builds - 58 different hard drive seeking sounds!

Описание к видео Booting up every leaked Windows 95/Chicago builds - 58 different hard drive seeking sounds!

Booting up and shutting down every leaked Pre-RTM Windows 95/Chicago beta builds on real hardware taking a quick look at them and listening to 58 hard drives sounds! (I used a different hard drive for every build!)
(These are all the leaked builds availlable from betaarchive as of June 2022, excluding 73f which is identical to 73g with a different bug report executable)

Used hardware is a Pentium I with 24MB of RAM, Vibra16 sound on the motherboard and a S3 Trio64V2 graphics adapter. (75MHz CPU for the parts recorded in March, 133MHz for those recorded in June)
Hard drive capacites range from 40MB to 6.4GB.

I started this idea back in March so some of the recordings are from back then. I had given up at the time, and came back to it in June.
This explains why the recordings differ in quality.
Was this a good idea? I don't know. It took a long time to make... If you are interested by Windows 95's history and/or you like the sounds of hard drives seeking then you may like it I guess.
If you really did find it interesting I may consider doing it for other OSes.
Do not question the order in which I used the drives, it doesn't make sense.
