I've just installed the Mystique 4Mb card and immediately had problems
with my HP5P scanner and SCSI interface. I was quickly able to define it
as a resource problem. Win95 usually (not always) resists assigning the
same resources to two different PnP devices. However, in this case
that's exactly what the Mystique install programme did. After an evening
of shuffling all my DMA, IRQ and IO settings around, plus a certain
amount of cursing Mystique's less than smooth install CAB, I finally got
everything working again. I also found that I had to reinstall some
software that weren't able to point to required devices after the
shuffle had been completed, but other than losing 3 weeks worth of The
Darkening play files (my fault for being too lazy to back them up before
reloading), there were no major glitches at the end of the day.

The only potential problem is that to untangle the mess created by
Mystiques ham-fisted resource grabbing, I had to do some manual
configuration. As Win95 points out when you do so, this can affect the
PnP configuration of future devices which I might wish to install. A
bridge to be crossed later I suppose. If you're are really stuck, you
can always do a reload of the Win95 OS, in which case Win95 will start
from scratch and put everythng in some semblance of order and balance.
