Unknown Win95-era laptop

I believe this was some relative's computer (Tom and Jean?) and then the HDD died on it so they gave it to us as a toy.  I figured out that I could boot it with some sort of DOS boot disk (looks like one could "Create and MS-DOS startup disk" straight from the Windows 98 Format window) and then was able to take that disk (3.5" floppy) out and put in other disks with games on them.

So I would download abandonware games and put them on floppies to play.  I remember taking it on Science Olympiad bus trips.  I guess it actually had a decent battery in it.
