Upgrading 701 to Win95



I recently inherited a TP701, and I want to upgrade it from Win3.11 to Win95. 

I'm a little confused by the little port one uses to connect either the
external floppy or a parallel printer. I'm going to need that port to
connect a parallel- port-type Backpack-Brand External CD drive. I will have
to use that cd/port to install Win95 from its Win95 Upgrade CD.
_BUT_, I need to access the A-drive through the same port at some point
during the installation process to make my Win95 StartUp disk.   ????

My question: Can I unplug my CD connector and then plug in my A-drive, etc.
during the Win95 installation process without disrupting the installation?
Does the TP701 tolerate swapping peripherals connected through that port
while still on-line?

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to proceed to install Win95 from a
cd in this little machine?

Thanks.
