Not trying to be a pain, but why exactly do you want to list all these 
devices in your config.sys and autoexec.bat? The Aspi drivers are all 
supported directly by Win95 for sure, although I'm not sure of the one
you switched to. You should only need any of these entries for sessions
when you boot into your old dos only, so the advice given here that you 
should make these changes from dos only is good.
