[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 1016586, member: 325666"] Several hours later I almost have a complete and stable win95OS with the scsi the Banshee the NIC and an Advanced Audio card fitted.. I had to change direction and leave the Soundblaster out .. even though it claims win95 compatibility .. Why ..? Too many resources used ..and this was the reason it's taken hours so far.. We are spoiled these days.. I'd forgotton how difficult it can be installing peripheral devices .. Limited interupts ...and ranges to consider .. Some devices will co-exist ..but thats what takes time ..making them ALL coexist and share resources.. I even got the Xcard in ..even though it was never designed to support 95 .. I used 98/Me drivers .. I doubt it will be fully functional ..but it does at least allow VGA loopthrough ...and 95 doesn't moan about it as an unknown device.. Still got USB to deal with ..and restricting of memory limit so it will run with 1.5gb ram.. So just taking a break whilst I image the hard drive (currently stable) ..that way I can experiment without worrying about having to start again.. Hopefully this will get easier after 98SE heh !! I dont do easy.. lol ;) [/QUOTE]
