No..the  problem is more serious. 

There  just do not sem to be enough IRQs to go around under  W95. 

Devices  are "floating" and leading to all kinds of odd  effects. 
On top of that, the SCSI AHA2940 card is not working properly  (a 
known  problem for the AHA2940/2940U and resident W95 drivers,  I 
have  downloaded  the new ones which has  only  partially  solved 
that).  I  think it may be that W95 is more picky  about  getting 
these conflicts sorted out than WFWG....

System: P166, Endeavour Board

PCI Matrox Millenium PCI
PCI Miro DC20 PCI
PCI AHA2940/2940U

ISA Digital Turbo 3

ISA ? Vibra 16 Sound Card

The problem is getting the Digital Network Card to work  reliably 
with  everything else. I can't use IRQ 5 (Vibra) or 10  (AHA2940) 
and  although 15 is available theoretically, the Endeavour  Board 
has two IDE channels using IRQ 14 and 15 so choosing 15 leads  to 
an error 9, IRQ conflict. 

If anyone knows of a sure way of getting these 5 working togther, 
please let me know. I have tried P&P in the AMIBIOS setup, and  I 
have  tried allocating various IRQs in manual mode to either  the 
vibra  or  Digital card. In the end, the system getts  so  choked 
that the Miro card tries to share and IRQ with the mouse on COM 2 
- forcing me to clear NVRAM and start again.
