This is awesome! I haven't broken out my 6115 with the DOS card in a while, but this will give me a good reason to. I know I struggled with getting Windows 3.11 / DOS on it (I think I resorted to making floppies with a USB floppy drive and then installing it that way). I decided Windows 95/98 wasn't worth the hassle, but with pre-made images, I will make some time to get it set up. Thanks!

Sadly, my excitement was short lived. The 6115 wouldn't even power on. Likely the PSU, but waiting on some caps to see if a recap does the trick. If anyone has a good spare 61xx power supply they are willing to sell, let me know. I'd imagine running with the DOS card is harder on the PSU than just the 601... Or, even better, if one of you wizards can come up with a PicoPSU converter, or modern PSU replacement, that would be ideal!

Don't forget that the 6100 won't power on without a working PRAM battery. However, you can encourage it to power on if you turn it off, and then hit the reset button on the back of the machine.... or quickly turn if back off, then back on again.

Yeah, I put in a fresh MeowToast with new CR2032. I also tried the reset button (which immediately snapped off), and the power on / off / on trick. No signed of life. Hoping a recap does it, but may be in the market for a replacement PSU...
