If that machine has a CD-R, then you could dump the files onto a CD.
If it has a network card, you could use that to transfer them to
another computer or on-line storage site.

Other than that, I guess you could install a second hard drive. But
modern hard drives are so large, I don't think Win95 could use all of
a modern drive.
