When 'shuting down to dos' [i.e., 'Restart the computer in MS-DOS Mode'
from the Shutdown panel], the file executed is C:\WINDOWS\DOSSTART.BAT
which was created based on the contents of your autoexec.bat at the time
you first installed win-95.

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.

My NCR810 SCSI card will only work if I have the drivers listed 
in the config and autoexec files.  Even though the drivers are 
listed in Win 95 they do no/t work for my CDROM.  This was the 
only way around the problem for me
