Every dealer I've checked either sells it for $90 or $100.
BTW, the OSR2 version of Windows 95,, often called Windows 95B, is
hard to buy without purchasing an entire computer system, but it
can be bought by itself from www.2upspeed.com.  For those who
aren't aware of it, regular Windows 95 allows disk drive parititons
to be no bigger than 2 gigabytes, and when a paritition is that
large, the smallest amount of space that a file will occupy is a
whopping 32K.  With OSR2 there's no practical limitation on
paritition size, and for paritions no bigger than 8 gigabytes,
file space is allocated in reasonably small 4K chunks.
